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

This company holds roughly $6M 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

Portsmouth Square, Inc. owns and operates a single full-service hotel in San Francisco, California. The property is the Holiday Inn Civic Center, a mid-scale hotel that serves business travelers, tourists, and groups visiting the city. The company is a small, concentrated hospitality business with essentially all of its value tied to one asset in one location.

The company earns money through room bookings, food and beverage sales, and other hotel services at its San Francisco property. With a market cap near zero and operations limited to a single city, Portsmouth Square is one of the smallest publicly traded hotel companies in the United States. Its main risk is heavy geographic concentration — if San Francisco tourism or business travel weakens, or if the property faces major capital needs, there is no other asset to offset the impact.
