Analysis
Hope premium
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price.
The price is attractive. You pay 14.0× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 1% yearly growth; analysts expect 11%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. 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.
