Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Colruyt Group N.V. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is expensive. You pay 37.2× 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 15% yearly growth; analysts expect -100%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

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

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
