15.41% operating margin is respectable but not wide. ROIC at 14.71%. Suggests the business covers its cost of capital, but doesn't point to a wide moat.
Revenue up 11.8% YoY with margins expanding 2.0pp. However, free cash flow softened 15%, worth monitoring whether this is timing or structural.
At 29x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Free cash flow declined 15% versus the prior year, cash generation momentum has weakened.
28.9x earnings, 38.4x FCF. Not cheap, the quality is already reflected in the price. Upside from here requires either margin expansion or growth re-acceleration, not just continuation.

At a P/E of 28.9 and a price-to-free-cash-flow of 38.4, Spadel SA (SPA.XBRU) trades above a two-stage DCF intrinsic value of about €247.68 per share, so at €356.00 the stock looks overvalued (30.4% above estimated intrinsic value). A high multiple is not the same as overvalued: fast-growing, high-quality businesses can deserve a premium. See the general approach in how to tell if a stock is overvalued.
On quality, Spadel SA scores 77/100 on Intrinsiqq's quality scorecard (a solid business on these measures), weighing growth, margins, returns on capital, share count, and balance-sheet strength. It currently yields about 0.9%; see dividend safety for coverage and history. All figures are computed from SEC filings; read the full methodology. This is analysis, not investment advice.
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about €247.68 per share for SPA.XBRU, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around €185.76. At today's €356.00, that puts the stock about 30.4% above estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
Spadel SA scores 77 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, passing 4 of 8 checks, which makes it a solid business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 15.4% operating margin and a 14.7% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full check-by-check breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Yes, Spadel SA pays a regular dividend of about €3.20 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 0.9% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 25.9% of earnings, so the dividend is amply covered by earnings. Spadel SA has grown the dividend at roughly 12.5% a year over the past few years. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For SPA.XBRU's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. SPA.XBRU currently trades above its estimated intrinsic value and scores 77/100 on quality (solid). It also yields about 0.9%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
