Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Kirin Holdings Company, Limited is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 24.2× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 9% 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 adequate. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
