Analysis
Bargain bin
Krones AG falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is attractive. You pay 12.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 0% yearly growth; analysts expect 13%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
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.
