Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Lithia Motors, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.
On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 10.7×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -2% a year, against analyst forecasts of 15%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.
Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
