Analysis

Quality compounder

Copart, Inc. earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 20.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 6% a year, against analyst forecasts of 15%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

No flags apply to this company at this time: accounts, balance sheet, and cash quality all pass. A clean bill of health is meaningful, not just the absence of a warning. This analysis describes numbers; it is not investment advice.
