Analysis

Quality compounder

Gilead Sciences, Inc. earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 13.7×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 1% a year, against analyst forecasts of 12%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
