Seaboard Corporation Financial Ratios 2025-2008 | SEB

Brief overview of Seaboard Corporation's valuation and returns

Ratios are assessed across five available annual reports in the 2021–2025 interval.

The valuation comparison uses P/E 10.79x (median 10.79x), EV/EBITDA 6.84x (median 14.95x), P/S 0.55x (median 0.41x). The current ratio basket stands about 15.9% above the five-year base, increasing sensitivity to weak reports.

The 1/P/E calculation produces a 9.3% earnings yield. It does not capture future growth or capital structure.

Capital efficiency is characterized by ROE 9.6%, ROA 6.1%, ROCE 4.6%. Efficiency ratios are restrained, with capital and assets producing modest returns.

PEG is 0.26x. Price is low relative to embedded growth, though the ratio depends heavily on forecast quality.

The cash return period is stable at 72.5 days initially and 71.4 days at the end.

What the ratios show

Seaboard Corporation's market premium is not yet supported by strong capital returns, raising valuation risk.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Seaboard Corporation, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
