Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

QuinStreet, Inc. 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 9.6×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

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

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.
