Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

James Fisher and Sons plc is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 2/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value. Analysts lean positive.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
