Johnson Matthey Plc (JMAT:LSE) Value analysis

Johnson Matthey Plc (JMAT:LSE) is a global technology company, which provides products on the basis of research done int catalysis and materials sciences.

JMAT is a company that very rarely trades cheaply in comparison to earnings or book value.  There are a few reasons why this might be the case.

JMAT has a very conservative capital structure, which means that owners of the common stock have very few financial risks to consider.  The analysis in the report shows exactly how conservative the capital structure of JMAT is.

JMAT has a good record of increasing earnings per share, which is also a good reason to won the common stock.  The good earnings per share record is complemented by a high return on equity and clear policy to grow the asset base on behalf of shareholders.

I have looked at JMAT a number of times as an investment, but the price always seemed a bit expensive.  However, when I did my stock screening process at the beginning of April JMAT appeared as potentially cheap.  This is the first time this has happened.
