Analysis

Quality compounder

Bayer CropScience Limited is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is fair. You pay 23.4× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 8% yearly growth; analysts expect -20%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

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