Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Valvoline Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

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

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
