What this means

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

Description

Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

KCC Corporation sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 1.8×; 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. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
