What this means

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

Description

Analysis

Bargain bin

E-MART Inc. is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 3.0×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.

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.
