StockStory Cites Teledyne, Marsh Strengths and PNC Growth Risks

StockStory highlighted Teledyne and Marsh for their business trends, while raising concerns about PNC Financial Services Group’s growth outlook in an assessment of three S&P 500 stocks.

The publisher said Teledyne’s revenue grew at an annual rate of 12.8% over five years, and its operating margin was 17.9%. It also reported that the company’s free cash flow margin rose by 11.1 percentage points over that period.

For Marsh, StockStory pointed to annual sales growth of 8.8% over two years and revenue of $27.95 billion. The company’s free cash flow margin was 15.9%, a level the publisher said enabled it to reinvest or return capital.

StockStory said PNC’s net interest income growth of 9.4% over five years lagged its banking peers. It also cited the bank’s 2.8% net interest margin and an estimate for tangible book value per share growth of 7.2% over the next 12 months. The publisher said that estimate implied slower profitability growth than over the prior two years.

The report listed Teledyne at 24.1 times forward earnings and Marsh at 15.6 times. PNC was listed at 1.5 times forward tangible book value.
