Analysis

Quality compounder

Orica Limited is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth.

The price is expensive. You pay 56.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 20% yearly growth; analysts expect 12%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
