Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I’ve chosen to put the spotlight on Cogobuy Group (HKG:400) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. 400 is a financially-sound company with a a excellent growth outlook, not yet priced into the stock. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you’re interested in understanding beyond my high-level commentary, take a look at the report on Cogobuy Group here.
Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
400’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts’ consensus forecast growth be correct. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, 400’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This supports the theory that 400 is potentially underpriced.
400’s strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. 400 appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.73x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
