Analysis

Hidden champion

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. fits the profile of a hidden champion, yet the market has not awarded it the premium its quality earns. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 10.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
