Description

Analysis

Deep value

COFACE SA looks superficially cheap, but weak underlying metrics raise the question of whether this is value or a trap.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 12.5×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 14/20 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.
