Description

Analysis

Bargain bin

KG Dongbu Steel Co.,Ltd. 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 4.4× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating 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.
