Novo Nordisk is at the 9th percentile of its own 4 year range at 1.9 times EBITDA against a median of 3.1, and it is still a high-return cash business: 78% gross margin, 43 cents of every revenue dollar as operating profit, 15 cents as free cash, and 37% on the capital in the business. The strongest fact against it is the deterioration underneath the discount, with revenue growth down to 2%, gross margin off 5 points, receivables growing 26 points faster than revenue and a current ratio of 0.87, meaning more is due within a year than there are current assets to meet it. That is three of the four tells my value trap seat looks for, so I am buying the cheapness of a franchise, not a recovery. I sell if receivables keep outrunning revenue for another quarter or operating margin breaks below the mid-thirties, since either would say the 43 cent margin was the thing being repriced.
