Analysis
Hidden champion
Safran SA fits the profile of a hidden champion, yet the market has not awarded it the premium its quality earns. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.
On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 16.5×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 4% a year, against analyst forecasts of 18%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is solid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
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.
