Analysis
Bargain bin
Melrose Industries PLC is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.
On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 8.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -5% a year, against analyst forecasts of 22%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
Flags to be aware of: 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.
