EPS Growth Poised to Accelerate with Transformative Constantia Labels Acquisition
- The recent acquisition of Constantia Labels for $1.3 billion could add 40-to-50 cents to EPS in FY19 and $0.80-to-$1.00 in FY20 (although debt is now 69% of capitalization and 5x EBITDA), and makes Multi-Color #1 globally in Food & Beverage labels.
- EPS is projected up 15% in FY19 to a record $4.20, aided by Constantia.
- EPS has increased every year for at least the last 17 years, benefitting from its recession-resistant home & personal care, wine & spirits, and food & beverage markets.
- Owned by only 6% of the institutions owning Apple and covered by only five other sell-side firms, Multi-Color offers discovery potential.
