Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 4.4% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Things to watch

  • Results due soon. Results are expected around 16 November; the share price can move sharply on the day.
  • Below peers: long-term debt as % of assets. Long-term debt as % of assets of 53.1% ranks 15 of 18 diversified support services companies we cover (median 33.7%).
  • Heavily shorted. 20.7% of the shares available to trade are sold short (12.1 days of average volume to cover).

Valuation models

Moat

46 /100

Moderate moat

How hard Brinks's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median 2.1% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 9 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 23.3%, moving by 1.5 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 9 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 8.1%; its worst year was 4.2%.

  • Cash conversion 13 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 6.4% of revenue.

  • Discipline 20 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 17.2% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.8% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (51 before it).
