Author screens three statistically cheap Magic Formula stocks (INR, LYFT, LUXE) and asks for discussion.
INR — LONG Author's Magic Formula screen flags Infinity Natural Resources as absurdly cheap at a P/E of 0.05 with 26.12% ROIC and a ~$174M market cap. The causal mechanism is deep-value mean reversion: earnings power is high relative to price, so the multiple should normalize if fundamentals hold. The stated risk is that energy prices collapse, which would undermine the earnings base. No explicit time horizon given.
The numbers here look absurdly cheap. Even with a recent 26% bounce in the stock price, the valuation barely moved relative to earnings. Fundamentals look strong, provided energy prices don't collapse.
LYFT — LONG Author notes Lyft screens at a P/E of 1.9 with 2.22% ROIC and ~$8.9B market cap, unusually cheap for a platform company. The thesis is that the recent sell-off on heavy weather forecasts and a softer outlook is an overreaction, and the headwinds are temporary. Catalyst is weather passing and ride volumes normalizing; risk is that the headwinds are not momentary.
If the current headwinds are just momentary (weather passes, after all), this sell-off might be an overreaction.
