The Valuations May Be Favorable
Brink’s stock has fallen by about 42% since the start of the year 2020. It currently trades at a 1.13% dividend yield. Its 52-week high is $97.12 while the price as of 11th November 2020 was $53.3. The stock was trading around $84 before the pandemic broke out. Its March market crash lows were around the $35 mark. So, the stock hasn’t run up significantly above those lows. In fact, the S&P 500 has risen by almost 60% since the March lows while Brink’s is up only 27%. So, the stock has even underperformed the broader market.
Brinks’ business is dependent on cash. The processing of cash increases when consumer spending and economic activity goes up. This is something that is expected in the coming quarters as the pandemic may come under control once a vaccine is out. Brink’s is already seeing some recovery as its revenue in September was back to around 90% of pre-COVID levels.
