Everybody loves shares that keep on rising.

The shares of independent energy supplier Yü Group have certainly kept on rising; they have more than tripled since April 2023 and have 20-bagged since early 2019.

Factors involved in this superb investment include:

  • A ‘market-pariah’ valuation caused by an adverse accounting review;
  • An astounding recovery buoyed by elevated energy prices;
  • A ‘scalable’ business that generates extra revenue without a commensurate increase to the workforce, and;
  • The entrepreneurialism and commitment of founder Bobby Kalar.

Let’s take a closer look.

  1. Hi Maynard
    Thanks for this.
    I’m studying Yu Group myself and liking much of what I see. I note that it’s now somewhat less expensive than when you reviewed it.
    If you don’t mind, I have a couple of questions:
    1. Is there a price or time at which you might buy this?
    2. What are your top few reasons for not already owning this?
    Regards

    • Hi Charles

      I think YU is essentially a bet on Bobby K ensuring he can overcome any difficulties from dealing with Shell, hard-up small businesses and black-swan energy events. In terms of shares I have looked at for SharePad over the last year or so, I would put James Latham and then maybe Rockwood Strategic ahead of YU. Top reason for not already owning this and not buying a new share since 2017 is I just don’t have the time nor brain capacity to look at new shares in any great depth beyond what I write for SharePad.
