Analysis

Hope premium

SOL S.p.A. is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 59.0×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
