Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 8.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -5% a year, against analyst forecasts of 7%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
