Analysis

Story stock

Cleanaway Waste Management Limited is a story stock: the narrative is ambitious and the price reflects it, but the underlying numbers are weak.

The price is expensive. You pay 46.0× 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 17% yearly growth; analysts expect 14%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is stretched. 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.
