Description

Analysis

Weak and unloved

KC Cottrell Co., Ltd. is weak and unloved: below-average business metrics and a price that reflects that disappointment.

The price is attractive. You pay 10.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

What to watch: 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.
