Owens-Illinois

On the surface, O-I Glass Inc appears cheap due to significant downward price pressure over the past year. To incorporate the risk associated with a potential value trap, we have capped its rating at 3 stars. The stock currently trades at a 43% discount to our quantitative fair value estimate of $10.07 per share; however, caution is warranted due to this estimate's high uncertainty rating.

The company's valuation metrics bolster our estimated fair value. A company's valuation metrics provide insights into the market's expectations for its future growth and profitability. Reflecting the firm's valuation is its enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 5.1, which falls in the bottom 20% compared with peers globally. Relative to the company's EBITDA, the enterprise value of the business is low, which contributes to our view that shares are undervalued.

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 14.6%, a core component of profitability, sits in the top 20% compared with peers globally. This suggests that it is generating substantial earnings relative to its share price, which further promotes our favorable price/fair value ratio.

This company lacks a competitive advantage, receiving a quantitative economic moat rating of none. Additionally, the firm's moderate financial health score suggests it is acceptably positioned against adverse economic circumstances.
