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

This company holds roughly $103M 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

US Masters Residential Property Fund is an Australian listed investment fund that owns residential properties in the United States, primarily in the New York metropolitan area. It buys houses and apartments, renovates them, and then rents them out to tenants. The fund is managed by Walsh & Company and gives Australian investors a way to access the US housing market.

The fund earns money mainly through rental income collected from tenants living in its US properties. It operates almost entirely in the northeastern United States, particularly in New Jersey and surrounding areas near New York City. The fund is relatively small, with a market cap around $100 million, and has faced persistent challenges including high debt levels, rising interest rates, and a trading price well below the value of its underlying properties. The key risk going forward is managing that debt load while navigating a high-interest-rate environment that increases borrowing costs and pressures returns for unitholders.

Revenue declining

US Masters Residential Property Fund's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
