Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Matson, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction. Worth noting: the cash the business generates has lagged behind what the income statement shows.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 24.5×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

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

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.
