Compa
I · AI Analysis
The brief
Compa manufactures and sells automotive parts and accessories—turbocharger components, steering systems, windscreen wipers, springs, air-conditioning units, and welded structures—primarily for the European auto supply chain, exporting from its base in Sibiu, Romania [Yahoo Finance].
Compa S.A. is a Romanian auto-parts manufacturer founded in 1886, producing components like turbochargers, steering systems, and wipers for vehicle makers [Yahoo Finance]. The company generates RON 557M in revenue but operates at razor-thin margins—0.5% operating, 0.2% net—with trailing earnings depressed by a one-time RON 9.4M charge [Yahoo Finance]. At 71x trailing P/E, the valuation is arithmetically inflated by that charge and does not reflect sustainable profitability.
Revenue is stable but profitability is nearly non-existent, and a one-time charge has distorted headline earnings metrics.
