Can DAF’s asset-composition point to a higher beta?An asset-heavy company tends to have a higher beta because the risk associated with running fixed assets during a downturn is highly expensive. I examine DAF’s ratio of fixed assets to total assets to see whether the company is highly exposed to the risk of this type of constraint. Given that fixed assets make up an insignificant portion of total assets, DAF doesn’t rely heavily upon these expensive, inflexible assets to run its business during downturns. Thus, we can expect DAF to be more stable in the face of market movements, relative to its peers of similar size but with a higher portion of fixed assets on their books. This is consistent with is current beta value which also indicates low volatility. What this means for you:You could benefit from lower risk during times of economic decline by holding onto DAF. Its low fixed cost also means that, in terms of operating leverage, it is relatively flexible during times of economic downturns. In order to fully understand whether DAF is a good investment for you, we also need to consider important company-specific fundamentals such as Discovery Africa’s financial health and performance track record.
