What this means

DL E&C clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Description

Analysis

Bargain bin

DL E&C Co.,Ltd. is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 4.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -14% a year, against analyst forecasts of 24%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. 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.
