The analyst's take on Sensata Technologies Holding plc
Sensata Technologies Holding plc has grown revenue from $3.20B to $3.70B over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 4% a year. The most recent year was down 5.8%, so growth has cooled from its longer-run pace.
Net margin sits at 0.8%, down 2.5 points year over year on a 29.3% gross margin. It carries about $2.85B of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 2.8% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 1.6% it actually delivered over the last five years, broadly in line with what it has delivered. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is net margin shrinking.
