The analyst's take on Valvoline Inc.
Valvoline Inc. has grown revenue from $1.93B to $1.71B over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 18.7% a year. The most recent year was up 5.6%, so growth has cooled from its longer-run pace.
Net margin sits at 12.3%, down 0.8 points year over year on a 38.5% gross margin. It carries about $1.05B of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 32.9% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the -32.8% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price already assumes a step-up from the recent record. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is reported earnings run ahead of cash.
