Analysis

Quality compounder

Eagers Automotive Limited is a quality compounder: a well-run business trading at a price that reflects what it is worth.

The price is expensive. You pay 31.3× 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 12% yearly growth; analysts expect 10%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
