Analysis
Beloved champion
Carpenter Technology Corporation sits in the top corner of our grid: excellent business, premium price; every investor already knows the story. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.
On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 71.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 23% a year, against analyst forecasts of 28%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is solid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
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.
