Advance Ends 2021 Strong as Its Ongoing Initiatives Bear Fruit; Shares Trade Fairly
Our $220 per share valuation of narrow-moat Advance should rise by a mid-single-digit percentage after it posted fourth-quarter earnings, although the increase is mostly on account of the rescission of our past expectations of a 2022 U.S. corporate tax rate hike. We believe the firm is on track to reach our long-term targets (mid-single-digit percentage top-line growth against low-double-digit operating margins over the next decade), although we suggest prospective investors await a more attractive entry point.
