Analysis
Quality compounder
Lamar Advertising Company is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is fair. You pay 20.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
