Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
FreightCar America, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.
On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 4.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.
Growth is tepid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
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.
