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

This company holds roughly $3.4B 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

Kenon Holdings is a holding company based in Singapore that owns stakes in several businesses across different industries. Its most important asset is a large ownership stake in OPC Energy, an Israeli power company that builds and operates power plants. OPC sells electricity to businesses and utilities in Israel and is expanding into renewable energy like solar and wind.

Kenon makes money mainly through the earnings and dividends generated by its subsidiaries, particularly OPC Energy. The company operates primarily in Israel, with some exposure to other markets through its other holdings. Because Kenon's value is tied closely to OPC's performance, its financial results depend heavily on electricity prices, fuel costs, and regulatory conditions in Israel. The key growth driver is OPC's ongoing push to add more renewable energy capacity, but rising construction costs and changes in Israeli energy regulations remain meaningful risks to that expansion.
