Why valuation scores 19?
Weighted metrics compared with all Consumer Cyclical companies.Mainly because of its earnings yield and free cash flow yield, which are weaker than most Consumer Cyclical peers.
- Negative (a loss or cash outflow), so it counts as zero whatever the share price. Earnings yield: -18.5% vs peer median 4.4%
- less free cash flow for the price paid: weaker than 70% of peers. Free cash flow yield: 2.9% vs peer median 6.1%
- Cash exceeds market value plus debt, so EBITDA yield is not meaningful and is left out.
