Analysis

Quality compounder

Griffon Corporation earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 164.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 35% a year, against analyst forecasts of 14%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is fragile. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
