The analyst's take on Compass Minerals International, Inc.
Compass Minerals International, Inc. has grown revenue from $1.14B to $1.24B over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 4.4% a year. The most recent year was up 11.3%, so growth is actually accelerating.
Net margin sits at -6.4%, up 12 points year over year on a 15.3% gross margin. It carries about $832.20M of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly -2.3% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 7.2% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price is arguably undemanding against what it has already proven. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is receivables growing faster than sales.
