Analysis

Hidden champion

CIE Automotive, S.A. is what we call a hidden champion: a strong business that the market is not pricing as one. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is attractive. You pay 11.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -2% yearly growth; analysts expect 9%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

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.
