Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is expensive. You pay 39.8× 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 15% yearly growth; analysts expect 28%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 13/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
