Analysis

Bargain bin

Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 14.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 2% a year, against analyst forecasts of 15%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating 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.
