Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

FST Corp. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 12.4×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is mixed; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
