Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Aptitude Software Group plc is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 22.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
