AI synthesis
GENERATEDCencosud SA maintains a leveraged capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.19 and a current ratio of 0.92, indicating tight short-term liquidity. The company holds CLP 248.6 billion in cash and equivalents against CLP 5.49 trillion in long-term debt, resulting in a negative net cash position. Total liabilities stand at CLP 10.24 trillion, while total equity is CLP 4.62 trillion, reflecting a balance sheet heavily weighted toward debt financing.
Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 6.81% and a return on assets of 2.12%, which are modest returns given the leverage employed. The company generated CLP 314.9 billion in net income on CLP 16.59 trillion in revenue, yielding a net margin of approximately 1.9%. Operating income was CLP 1.07 trillion, supporting an EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.15 and a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.98. The price-to-book ratio of 1.22 suggests the market values the equity slightly above its book value.
Key takeaways
- Cencosud SA trades at a P/E of 17.98 and EV/EBITDA of 10.15, reflecting moderate valuation multiples for a leveraged retailer.
- The company carries significant debt with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.19 and negative net cash, posing medium liquidity risk.
- Profitability is modest with a 6.81% ROE and 2.12% ROA, driven by CLP 314.9 billion in net income on CLP 16.59 trillion in revenue.
- Dilution risk is assessed as low, with basic and diluted shares outstanding identical at 2.75 billion.
- Lack of historical data and segment breakdowns limits the ability to assess growth trends and revenue concentration risks.
