Ingram Micro

Ingram Micro Holding Corp receives a 3-star quantitative star rating, illustrating our stance that this share class is a balanced choice, but prudent investors should consider looking elsewhere. The stock currently trades at a price consistent with our quantitative fair value estimate, which has a high uncertainty rating.

The firm's valuation metrics bolster our fair value estimate. A company's valuation metrics provide insights into the market's expectations for its future growth and profitability. For example, the firm's book value yield of 65.1% sits in the top 45% globally. The market price is low relative to the book (accounting) value of the company's equity, which contributes to our balanced fair value estimate.

The firm's profitability is an additional encouraging factor. Highly profitable companies are often more resilient in recessions and are likely to generate stronger future cash flows for shareholders. The firm's earnings yield of 11.4%, for example, ranks in the top 20% globally. This suggests that it is generating substantial earnings relative to its share price, which further promotes our neutral price/fair value ratio.

In addition to the aforementioned drivers, our model considers momentum as part of its comprehensive analysis. This share class has outperformed the broader universe over the past year. While we believe the stock is fairly-valued, this outperformance had a negative impact on our valuation estimate.

The company's quantitative economic moat rating of none suggests any excess returns could erode quickly as competition arrives. Additionally, the firm's moderate financial health score suggests it is acceptably positioned against adverse economic circumstances.
