Analysis

Bargain bin

RTL Group S.A. falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause.

The price is attractive. You pay 4.3× 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 -16% yearly growth; analysts expect -16%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
