Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is attractive. You pay 6.5× 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 -9% yearly growth; analysts expect 21%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and accelerating and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

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.
