Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Nova Ltd. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is expensive. You pay 67.2× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 23% yearly growth; analysts expect 17%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
