Analysis

Quality compounder

Equatorial S.A. earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 12.2×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -0% a year, against analyst forecasts of 13%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
