Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Ferguson Enterprises Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is fair. You pay 23.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 8% yearly growth; analysts expect 13%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
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.
