Description

Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

NC Corporation sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 10.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -2% a year, against analyst forecasts of 9%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

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