Flawless balance sheet and good value
BBL.A'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 indicates that BBL.A has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is an important determinant of the company’s health.

This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows. BBL.A's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish.

Compared to the rest of the materials industry, BBL.A is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that BBL.A's price is currently discounted.
