Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

57

out of 100

Penske Automotive Group, Inc. earns a fundamental-quality score of 57 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its growth (revenue +8.6%/yr). Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 2.8%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Penske Automotive is the luxury dealer: BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and company, sold in the United States and Britain, plus a commercial-truck business and its stake in Penske fleet leasing. The premium car as a listed family business, the patriarch's name on the door.

What will shape its future

  • The premium buyer, more cycle-resistant than the average car customer.
  • Service and parts, every dealership's margin cushion.
  • Commercial trucks and fleet leasing, its lesser-known diversification.
