Analysis

Story stock

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. trades at an expensive price on a weak set of business metrics, a combination we flag as a story stock.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 220.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 39% a year, against analyst forecasts of 7%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. 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. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
