Analysis

Hope premium

Willdan Group, Inc. carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is fair. You pay 21.9× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

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