Analysis

Bargain bin

Cascades Inc. is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 6.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.
