There is nothing worse in equity markets than being positioned in stocks that have lost virtually all of their stock market valuation. A fact that takes us back to what happened with Banco Popular and other companies that in the end they stopped trading. These are companies that have depreciated above 50% and in some cases are even at the limit of 100%. Where you can leave all the capital invested and what is worse, you can do absolutely nothing to correct this situation so unwanted by investors.
Within this general context, we are going to show some of these securities so that you have them identified from now on. On the one hand, to avoid positions in them and on the other so that you can follow them in the evolution of their prices. On the other hand, it is true that there are not many, but there are enough so that set your alarms in setting up your next investment portfolio. Not surprisingly, in the end you do not have much to gain in their positions as some users think when they see them with very low prices.
Fortunately, the values that have fallen by more than 50% are a minority in the current supply of the Spanish equity market. But with very striking cases, as previously happened with Terra or the Popular. Because at the end of the day it is about not getting into even more negative situations for your personal interests. Because usually there are factors that explain why they have reached situations like these. Where it is very dangerous to open positions, because the risks are enormous from any kind of investment strategies. Being one of the least recommended values by the most famous financial analysts.
Securities with the most losses: Day
El crash of this company It has been one of the great surprises in the last year and that has led to a large part of the small investors having lost a part of their savings.
It is a security that in a very short space of time has lost its entire valuation on the stock market. By going from 6 euros to just a few euro cents and that has led to investors losing a very important part of the capital invested. In a business operation of very doubtful application and without the possibility that it could recover a good part of its valuation in the equity markets. To the point that there are practically no purchases, not even from a speculative approach.
In all cases, it is a value with very little to do from now on. Where it is easier to lose money than to earn it in this class of stock operations. Where the risks that you can run are much greater than in other values of the national continuous market. Because you cannot forget that you have lost more than 95% of its market price. To the point that it has left the selective index of Spanish equities.
Telefónica at historic lows
The telecom par excellence has been one of the great disappointments for small and medium investors. Especially since it is one of the big blue chips out of the bag of our country and that focused a good part of the investments on the part of the more defensive users. While on the other hand, it has depreciated to levels of 6 euros per share, when not long ago it was above 10 euros.
The only positive aspect that has been maintained over the years is the high dividend it distributes among its shareholders. With a fixed and guaranteed annual return around 6%, one of the highest on the Ibex 35. With a payment by holders of 0,4 euros and no reduction is planned in the coming months. Being one of the few incentives to take positions in the value, with the goal of creating a portfolio of fixed income within the variable.
Sabadell pending the functions
It is the bank that has fared the worst within this important sector of Spanish equities. Because there are many that are creating their management among the different financial agents. To the point that in the end it has come to quote below the euro unit and with very little positive prospects for the coming years. Not surprisingly, the selling pressure has been imposed with great clarity on the buyer. With the risk represented by trading below one euro unit.
On the other hand, it cannot be forgotten that it is a value that is currently pending what may happen in the sector. In other words, on the possible mergers that are being considered by the most important areas of the financial sector. And of course this fact is weighing down its position in the financial markets, and therefore its potential for revaluation is practically non-existent, at least in the short and medium term.
Atresmedia in a declining sector
If there is a sector in the equity markets that is not going through the best of its moments, that is none other than the one represented by the audiovisual communications media. Materialized by Atresmedia, which is currently in a clear downtrend and with one of the lowest prices in recent years. But at the same time, it presents a higher revaluation potential, as long as there is a change in its trend, going from bearish to bullish and therefore would give a complete turn to its perspectives in the equity markets.
All these values have gone from high to low in recent years and in some they have reached a ridiculous valuation below the euro unit. With very few prospects to overcome for various reasons and that have led small and medium investors to have their capital invested at this time have been greatly diluted.
Ence the great disappointment
Ence Energía y Celulosa achieved a net profit of € 27,8 million in the first nine months (-69,6%) and an EBITDA of € 126,5 million (-40%). The EBITDA of the Pulp business was € 85 million (-53%), while that of Renewable Energy was € 41,6 million (+28%). The results have been affected by the situation of the pulp market, with a net price of pulp almost $ 200 / t below its average in the last 10 years.
In Pulp, it is necessary to highlight the operational improvement in the 3er quarter, with a reduction of € 22 / ton in production cost compared to the previous quarter. The company is focused on the cost reduction program that was launched in July. In Energy, the upcoming start-up of two new biomass plants and the repowering of some plants will mean an estimated improvement in the EBITDA of the business of around € 30 million / year. Ence also has a portfolio of projects of more than 2.100 MW in biomass, photovoltaics and hybridization of solar thermal power plants. In what has been an annus horribilis for the company.
