Northcape's Ross Cameron pitches South Korean home appliance company Coway at Sohn Hearts & Minds Conference 2026.
Northcape Capital’s Ross Cameron picks Korean water filtration company Coway as his stock tip for the Sohn Hearts & Minds conference.
Coway is a world leader in water and air purification, built on long-term subscription contracts rather than one-off sales.
More than 95 per cent of revenue is recurring, with churn of just 0.3 per cent, delivering 27 years of double-digit subscriber growth – through both the Asian and global financial crises.
Despite returns on equity above 20 per cent, Coway trades on just 9 times earnings, overlooked as tech stocks dominate the South Korean exchange.
With activist investor Align Partners buying a 7 per cent stake and management now tying pay to the share price, Mr Cameron says a re-rating is long overdue.
