Analysis

Bargain bin

Legrand SA falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause.

The price is expensive. You pay 25.5× 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 10% yearly growth; analysts expect 9%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

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: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
