Analysis

Bargain bin

Datatec Limited falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is attractive. You pay 10.9× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -2% yearly growth; analysts expect 38%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

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