What this means

Stora Enso clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Analysis

Weak and unloved

Stora Enso Oyj scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 20.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 6% a year, against analyst forecasts of -16%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
