What this means

NTN clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Description

Analysis

Bargain bin

NTN Corporation is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 9.4×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

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.
