Description

Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

LIG Defense&Aerospace Co., Ltd. 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 expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 65.6×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 22% a year, against analyst forecasts of 31%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. 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.
