Description

Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Sword Group S.E. 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 attractive. You pay 14.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 14/20 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.
