Analysis
Bargain bin
H&R Block, Inc. falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is attractive. You pay 5.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -11% yearly growth; analysts expect 12%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.
What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
