Analysis

Bargain bin

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

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 16.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 4% a year, against analyst forecasts of 10%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
