The latest filing of AWH Capital for Q4 of 2022 shows a significant shift in their portfolio's allocation, with some notable changes that caught investors' attention.
One of the most significant changes was the increase in their holdings of PG&E Corp. (PCG) by 30.1%, from 390,000 shares to 390,000 shares. The value of these shares also rose from $4,875,000 to $6,341,000. The move into PCG may indicate AWH Capital's bet on infrastructure development and increased demand for electricity in the coming months. PG&E Corp. is a public utility company that provides natural gas and electricity to over 16 million people.
Another notable change in AWH Capital's holdings is their allocation to PURPLE INNOVATION INC (PRPL), which increased by 148.2% from Q3 to Q4 2022. The number of shares they held jumped from 102,500 to 215,000 shares, and the value rose to $1,029,000 from $415,000. Purple Innovation Inc. is a manufacturer of specialized mattresses and pillows, which experienced increased demand during the pandemic as more people opted for home-based work and school.
The holding change that AWH Capital made in VIRTUS INVT PARTNERS INC (VRTS) remained the same in Q4 of 2022, with 44,490 shares reported for both quarters. However, the value of the shares increased from $7,097,000 to $8,517,000. Virtus Investment Partners provides advisory and investment management services to individual and institutional clients across the globe.
Although AWH Capital did not sell all their shares of MID-SOUTHERN BANCORP INC (MSVB), they did reduce their holdings slightly. The number of shares owned decreased from 45,607 to 45,607 (no change), and the value reduced by 3% from $611,000 to $592,000. MSVB is a bank holding company that provides various banking solutions to individuals and businesses in the southern United States.
One of the prominent changes in AWH Capital's Q4 2022 holdings was the addition of EVOLUS INC (EOLS) to their portfolio. They purchased a total of 9,000 shares with a value of $3,500,000. The move into EOLS may indicate AWH's bet on the growth of the skincare industry due to increased consumer demand.
Also, AWH Capital acquired 22,500 shares of OMNIAB INC (OABI) in Q4 2022, with a value of $801,000. The skincare company provides various dermatological products and treatments to individuals with specific skin issues.
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (CCO) was one of the shares that took a hit in Q4 of 2022, with a reduction of 23.4% in the number of shares held by AWH Capital. They sold all their shares, from 1,535,000 shares to zero. The value of the shares also reduced from $2,103,000 to $1,611,000. Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings is a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications that provides various outdoor advertising solutions across 25 countries globally.
In summary, AWH Capital's Q4 2022 portfolio saw significant changes in the allocation of shares. The addition of EVOLUS INC and OMNIAB INC to their portfolio, PG&E Corp's increase, PRPL's significant growth, and the decrease in Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings indicated a shift in AWH Capital's focus on different industries. These changes could indicate a bullish outlook from AWH Capital in the skincare and electricity sectors.
