Scholastic clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Description

Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Scholastic Corporation is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 15.4× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
