Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Otter Tail Corporation is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

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