Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Silicon Motion Technology Corporation 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 66.2× 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 22% yearly growth; analysts expect 54%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and accelerating and the balance sheet is uncertain. The company scores 20/20 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.
