Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

LOTTE Fine Chemical Co., Ltd. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 21.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
