Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

C&C Group plc sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 75.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 24% a year, against analyst forecasts of 8%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
