Analysis

Bargain bin

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 14.4×; 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 4%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Flags to be aware of: 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.
