Warnings

The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 130%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
The company pays out 164% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.

Key Risks

  • Growth DCF inappropriate — terminal value assumptions dominate
  • EV/EBITDA misleading for regulated businesses where capex is mandated
  • Regulatory risk is a fat tail not visible in normal multiples
