Description

Analysis

Hope premium

Workman Co.,Ltd. is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 34.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 13% a year, against analyst forecasts of 9%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 17/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Flags to be aware of: 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.
