Catalysts in Value Investing
  • Catalyst Definition
  • Trade vs Hold Return
  • Free Call Option
  • Catalysts speed up the rate of multiple expansion leading to a high IRR "trade" return
  • Business Catalysts vs Stock Catalysts
  • Solitron Devices Example

Summary:

Catalysts can supercharge investing returns for value investor if utilized properly OR they can distract from a central thesis and cause you to make poor decisions. A catalyst should be seen as a free call option that boosts a "trade" return.
