Analysis

Weak and unloved

HTC Corporation scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 21.6×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 4/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

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