Analysis

Bargain bin

Sulzer AG is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 17.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

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.
