Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
McCormick & Company, Incorporated is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is attractive. You pay 8.0× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -6% yearly growth; analysts expect 6%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
