Analysis

Bargain bin

Akzo Nobel N.V. falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause.

The price is fair. You pay 16.0× 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 3% yearly growth; analysts expect 9%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is stretched. 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.
