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

This company holds roughly $31M 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

Sciuker Frames S.p.A. is an Italian company that makes windows and doors, mainly for homes and buildings. Its products use wood, aluminum, and combinations of both materials, and it sells primarily to residential customers and construction contractors across Italy. The company is part of Italy's broader building renovation market, which has been heavily influenced by government tax incentive programs designed to encourage energy-efficient home upgrades.

Sciuker earns money by selling its window and door products directly and through a network of dealers and installers. It operates mainly in Italy, with a relatively small market presence, as reflected in its near-zero market capitalization. The company benefited significantly from Italy's "Superbonus" tax incentive scheme, which drove strong demand for energy-efficient windows — but as those incentives have been scaled back by the Italian government, Sciuker faces the key risk of a meaningful drop in customer demand and revenue going forward.
