Analysis

Hidden champion

Viridien Société anonyme fits the profile of a hidden champion, yet the market has not awarded it the premium its quality earns.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 3.7×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

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

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
