Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Clarkson PLC 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 fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 21.6×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 7% a year, against analyst forecasts of 10%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is solid; 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.
