Analysis

Quality compounder

Givaudan SA earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 26.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 10% a year, against analyst forecasts of 5%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

Growth is tepid; 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.
