Analysis

Weak and unloved

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. is weak and unloved: below-average business metrics and a price that reflects that disappointment.

The price is fair. You pay 19.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 6% yearly growth; analysts expect 18%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

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

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
