Chasing Value: Autoliv - a great value that I'm not buying

Sometimes you find a great company at a great price and when you dig deeper you find you have to pass on it. Too bad, because the metrics on Autoliv Inc. (NYSE: ALV) are pretty fantastic. It is the world's #1 producer of car safety equipment, with 80 production facilities in 28 countries around the world and includes 20 test tracks. I like the segment of the automobile market the company is positioned in and feel auto safety will continue to be an expanding opportunity. Here are the numbers that attracted me to Autoliv:

  • Price-to-earnings P/E: 12.52 (TTM)
  • Price-to-sales P/S: 0.78 (TTM)
  • Price-to-book P/B: 1.92 (TTM)
  • Price-to-earnings P/CF: 6.82 (TTM)

These are great numbers, but there is more:

  • Return-on-equity ROE: 17.0
  • Long Term Debt-to-Equity (MRQ) 0.5
  • Dividend Yield 2.63%
