Bet on aging: People everywhere will reach a median age of 38 in 2050, up from 29 today, and rich countries by then will be closer to 50, reckons the United Nations. Among other things, that probably bodes well for sales of corrective lenses. Essilor International (ticker EF on Paris Stock Exchange) is the world sales leader in the lens business, with a market share of greater than 25%. Brands include Varilux, Transitions and Nikon. Europe contributes 45% of sales and the U.S., 42%. The company turns about 18 cents of each sales dollar into operating profit, versus 10 cents for the median S&P 500 company. Analysts expect Essilor to increase its sales 8% this year and 6% next year. One negative: At 20 times earnings, shares are priced merely in line with the U.S. and European markets at the moment, which is to say, they look a touch expensive. |
