Analysis
Quality compounder
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth.
The price is attractive. You pay 13.8× 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 1% yearly growth; analysts expect 8%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.
What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
