Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $265M in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Grammer AG is a German company that makes seats and interior parts for vehicles. Its main products include seats for trucks, buses, tractors, and forklifts, as well as headrests and armrests for passenger cars. The company sells to large vehicle manufacturers like Volkswagen, Daimler, and CNH Industrial, making it a supplier deep inside the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.

Grammer earns money by selling these parts directly to vehicle manufacturers, meaning its revenue rises and falls with how many vehicles those customers produce. The company operates globally, with factories across Europe, North America, and Asia, and generates roughly €1.7 billion in annual revenue. Its thin margins — around 11% gross and 3% operating — leave little room for error, and its main risk is that any slowdown in truck or car production by its key customers quickly squeezes profits. A recovery in commercial vehicle demand, particularly in Europe, is the clearest near-term growth lever.
