What this means

Ocado clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Description

Analysis

Weak and unloved

Ocado Group plc is weak and unloved: below-average business metrics and a price that reflects that disappointment.

The price is attractive. You pay 3.0× 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 stretched. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

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.
