Analysis
Hope premium
INFICON Holding AG is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.
On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 57.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 21% a year, against analyst forecasts of 19%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
