Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Mercedes-Benz Group AG is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is attractive. You pay 12.5× 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 -0% yearly growth; analysts expect 13%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
