Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Kaiser Aluminum Corporation is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 19.2× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
