Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Scientex Berhad sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction. 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 10.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -3% a year, against analyst forecasts of 10%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 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.
