Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Hankuk Carbon Co., Ltd. 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.

The price is fair. You pay 19.4× 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 6% yearly growth; analysts expect 18%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 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.
