Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Pentair plc 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 16.2× 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 3% yearly growth; analysts expect 11%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. 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.
