Analysis
Bargain bin
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.
On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 6.4×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -9% a year, against analyst forecasts of 14%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is tepid; 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: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
