Margins step up with 6.3% trailing net margin
- Over the last twelve months, Phibro generated US$1.5b in revenue and US$92.1 million in net income, which works out to a 6.3% net margin compared with 1.7% a year earlier based on the analysis summary.
- What stands out for a bullish view is that this margin picture sits alongside TTM basic EPS of US$2.27 and a very large 1 year earnings increase. At the same time, the five year trend shows a 2.8% per year decline, so investors who are optimistic need to weigh the recent improvement against that longer term pattern.
Valuation signals are mixed at 22x P/E
- The stock is trading on a 22x P/E, which is slightly above the US Pharmaceuticals industry average of 21.1x and well above the peer average of 13.9x. However, the input DCF fair value of US$100.50 sits well above the current US$50.00 share price.
- What is interesting for a bullish angle is that the shares are described as trading about 50.2% below that DCF fair value while still carrying higher than peer P/E multiples. This means some investors may see earnings quality and the recent US$92.1 million of TTM net income as enough to justify the higher multiple even though revenue is only forecast to grow around 3% per year versus a cited 10.3% for the broader US market.
Earnings jump contrasted with modest 3% revenue outlook
- GAAP earnings are reported to have grown about 377% over the past year, while revenue is forecast to grow around 3% per year and earnings around 13% per year, both below the cited US market expectations of 10.3% revenue growth and 15.7% earnings growth.
- Critics highlight that debt is described as not well covered by operating cash flow, so the very strong recent earnings and the move in net margin to 6.3% are being weighed against slower expected revenue growth and the balance sheet risk. This can matter a lot if the 4 consecutive quarters of basic EPS between roughly US$0.43 and US$0.68 do not continue at the same level.
