Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Holcim AG is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is attractive. You pay 3.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -21% yearly growth; analysts expect 14%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

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.
