Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

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

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.
