PEG1.04proxy
B+
PEG 1.04 — near fair value, classic Lynch benchmark (1.0) · PEG proxy: P/E ÷ revenue growth %, not earnings growth — a true PEG needs forward EPS estimates, which this data tier doesn't carry. Reads cheaper than the real PEG when margins are compressing.

Forward price target — the 1-year figure is the analyst consensus where the stock is covered; the 5- and 10-year figures compound our earnings estimate from there. The DCF below is a separate cross-check on intrinsic value (what it's worth today), not another target.

Why now
Packaged Foods · market cap $14.1b. Down 30% from 52-week high of $18.65 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +12%, comfortably above the S&P median. 14 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $17.98 (implying +37% upside).
Moat
ROE 23% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately.
Risk
D/E 2.83 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Dividend payout 93% of earnings on a 10.0% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. Net margin 2.6% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
Horizon
1-3 yr $17.98 (14-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $22.70 at ~12% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $29.11 if the moat survives secular pressure.

JBS N.V. (JBS): score, valuation & FAQ

JBS N.V. (JBS) is a Packaged Foods company that scores 66.6 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A-) and PEG (B+), while D/E (D) rate weaker. On valuation, JBS sits about 11% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 6% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is JBS a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores JBS 66.6 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by P/E (A-) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of JBS N.V.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does JBS score 66.6 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). JBS earns its highest marks on P/E (A-) and PEG (B+), and is held back by D/E (D). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is JBS overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $13.12, JBS sits about 11% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 6% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 12.1x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in JBS?

D/E 2.83 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Dividend payout 93% of earnings on a 10.0% yield — distribution coverage is thin; one earnings stumble could force a dividend cut. Net margin 2.6% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first.
