Analysis
Quality compounder
Gentex Corporation earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess. 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 14.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.
Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
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.
