Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Pets at Home Group Plc 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 15.7× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 3% yearly growth; analysts expect 8%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
