Analysis

Bargain bin

Manitou BF SA is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 19.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
