Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Bureau Veritas SA sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 18.0×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 5% a year, against analyst forecasts of 9%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

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.
