SPR is now undervalued
Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, designs and manufactures aero structures for commercial and defense aircraft, employing 20,655 people across Commercial, Defense & Space, and Aftermarket segments. The company went public on November 21, 2006.
Based on our analysis, Spirit Aerosystems Holdings has been assigned an undervalued rating of 5 out of 5 stars by Cashu, primarily due to significant discrepancies between its financial ratios and industry averages.
The Price-to-Book (PB) ratio for Spirit Aerosystems stands at 10.14, compared to the sector average of 2.37. This high ratio suggests that investors are currently paying a premium for the company's assets, which could indicate a potential overvaluation rather than undervaluation, warranting further investigation.
Moreover, the company’s net profit margin is notably negative at -10.19, while the sector average is a positive 0.99. A negative profit margin indicates that Spirit is not generating profit from its revenues, which raises concerns about operational efficiency. Similarly, the Return on Equity (ROE) is alarmingly low at -120.63, against the sector average of 2.58. A negative ROE signals that the company is losing money relative to shareholder equity, which is detrimental from an investment perspective.
Additionally, the firm has a dividend yield of 0.00, contrasting with the sector's average of 1.07, implying that investors receive no return in the form of dividends. Lastly, the Return on Assets ratio at -8.87, well below the sector's 0.58, indicates that the company is effectively losing value on its assets.
These ratios collectively suggest that while Spirit Aerosystems may appear undervalued based on market sentiment, the underlying financial health indicates significant challenges that must be addressed.
