Rates whether the stock is cheap or expensive relative to its history and sector. A score above 60 suggests the stock trades below its estimated intrinsic value.

Tracks:P/E · P/B · FCF yield · sector

Nízké forward P/E, PEG pod 1 a EV/EBITDA naznačují relativně příznivé ocenění, přestože mimořádně vysoké P/B je kvůli kapitálové struktuře varovným ukazatelem. Růst tržeb je kladný, ale pokles EPS a vysoké zadlužení patří mezi slabší stránky; krátkodobé cenové momentum je výrazně pozitivní, zatímco cena zůstává pod 200denním průměrem.

Zpráva uvádí, že Imperial Brands vypadá levně vzhledem ke své ziskové síle; další růst by tento pohled podpořil, zatímco slábnoucí zisky jej mohou zvrátit.

Cena za 7 i 30 dní výrazně vzrostla a trend i momentum jsou pozitivní. RSI 84 a vysoká volatilita ale zvyšují riziko krátkodobého přehřátí; strukturální tlak na tabákový sektor tlumí střednědobý výhled.

Risks: Pokračující pokles spotřeby tabáku nebo obrat cenového trendu by současný pozitivní výhled oslabil.

: 4.0%

Růst 4 % p. a. je konzervativní předpoklad pro zavedenou tabákovou společnost, s ohledem na růst tržeb, ale také výrazný pokles EPS a regulatorní rizika odvětví. Diskontní sazba 9 % zohledňuje stabilní charakter podnikání i vysoké zadlužení; terminální růst 2,5 % odpovídá dlouhodobému růstu ekonomiky.

DCF terms explained+

DCF (discounted cash flow) estimates how much cash the company will generate in the future and converts it into today's value per share.

Free cash flow (FCF) is the money left after running the business and investing. “12 m” means the last 12 months.

The discount rate expresses risk: the riskier the company, the higher the rate and the lower the fair value.

Fair value is a model estimate — not the market price and not an investment recommendation.

With Premium you can adjust growth, the discount rate and free cash flow, and the fair value recalculates live.

Metrics explained+

Price and fair value

DCF range: A model estimate of fair value from future free cash flow. A price above the range means the market pays a premium over the model; a price below it may signal a more conservative market valuation or an overly optimistic model.
Analyst target: The average and range of the analyst price targets we track. It is the market consensus, not a FinSignal recommendation, and it can lag fast price moves.
52-week range: Shows where the current price sits between the low and high of the last year. A value near the high often signals strong momentum, but on its own says nothing about whether the stock is expensive.
Price vs 50D / 200D: Compares the price with its short- and long-term moving averages. A positive value means the price is above the trend; a negative one below it.

Multiples

P/E: Price relative to current earnings. A lower P/E can mean cheaper, but it can also point to a weak outlook or risk.
Forward P/E: Price relative to next year's expected earnings. For growing companies it is often more useful than the historical P/E because it reflects estimates of future earnings.
P/B: Price relative to the book value of equity. It makes more sense for banks, insurers and capital-intensive companies than for software or brands.
P/S: Price relative to revenue. It helps with companies that have low or negative earnings; a high P/S means the market expects strong growth or future margins.
EV/EBITDA: The value of the whole company, including debt, relative to operating profit before depreciation. Useful for comparing companies with different leverage.
PEG: P/E adjusted for earnings growth. A value around 1 may suggest the valuation matches growth, but the metric is sensitive to estimates.

Growth and quality

EPS growth: Year-on-year change in earnings per share. Strong growth supports a higher valuation, but for cyclical companies it can be temporary.
Revenue growth: The growth rate of sales. It helps tell whether profits grow on real demand or mainly on cost savings.
Net margin: How much of each unit of revenue is left as net profit. A higher margin often points to stronger pricing power or more efficient operations.
ROE: Return on equity. A high ROE can signal a quality business, but check that it is not artificially boosted by heavy debt.

Management and competitive advantage

Both are estimated by the AI from the company profile, news and results. They do not count towards the 6-pillar financial health score. The AI comments are in Czech.

good

Management získává mírně nadprůměrné hodnocení za zaměření na nákladovou restrukturalizaci a zlepšování marží, hodnocení však snižuje nejistota ohledně exekuce a zvýšené auditní riziko v dodaném governance profilu.

good

Široké portfolio zavedených značek, distribuční dosah a zákaznická loajalita vytvářejí konkurenční výhodu a podporují cenovou sílu. Její trvanlivost omezují regulace, daně a dlouhodobý pokles tradičního kouření.

§ Risk profile

Výnos v korunách ovlivňuje kurz libry. Firma čelí přísnější regulaci, spotřebním daním, zákazům a soudním sporům; pokles prodeje cigaret může ohrozit zisky, pokud jej nedokážou nahradit alternativní výrobky.
