Description

Analysis

Weak and unloved

AUTO1 Group SE is weak and unloved: below-average business metrics and a price that reflects that disappointment. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is expensive. You pay 68.0× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 23% yearly growth; analysts expect 36%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

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.
