Analysis

Hope premium

Telstra Group Limited is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 21.7×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 7% a year, against analyst forecasts of 4%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
