Analysis

Beloved champion

Nordson Corporation is a beloved champion: its quality is genuine, and the market already prices it as exceptional.

The price is expensive. You pay 25.4× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 9% yearly growth; analysts expect 13%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
