Analysis

Beloved champion

EMS-CHEMIE HOLDING AG is a beloved champion: its quality is genuine, and the market already prices it as exceptional. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is expensive. You pay 33.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 13% yearly growth; analysts expect 6%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
