What this means

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

Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Astec Industries, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 46.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 17% a year, against analyst forecasts of 13%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
