Price-to-earnings of 20.9x for Scope Metals Group, is it justified?

Scope Metals Group last closed at ₪282.5 per share and is trading on a P/E of 20.9x. That is above both its immediate peer group and the wider Asian Trade Distributors industry, which suggests investors are currently willing to pay a premium for each unit of earnings.

The P/E multiple compares the company’s share price to its earnings per share, so it effectively shows how much you are paying for current profits. For a distributor and materials supplier like Scope Metals Group, the P/E can reflect how investors view the quality and repeatability of those earnings as well as any expectations they may have around future profitability.

Scope Metals Group’s earnings grew 20.9% over the past year and its current net profit margin of 7.8% is slightly higher than last year’s 7.6%. That recent improvement sits alongside a 5 year period where earnings declined 4.3% per year, so the current premium P/E could suggest the market is focusing more on the latest upswing in profitability rather than the longer history. The fact that the company’s 1 year total shareholder return of 92.75% exceeded both the IL market and the IL Trade Distributors industry reinforces that investors have already priced in a lot of optimism.

Compared with the Asian Trade Distributors industry average P/E of 13.4x and a peer average of 14.1x, Scope Metals Group’s 20.9x multiple is clearly higher. This stronger pricing points to the market assigning greater value to its earnings than to those of its sector and peer group. SCOP also trades well above the ₪52.98 per share fair value indicated by our DCF model, which underlines how rich the current market valuation is relative to that cash flow based estimate.
