Heidelberger Druckmaschinen Aktiengesellschaft (FRA:HDD) is a stock with outstanding fundamental characteristics. When we build an investment case, we need to look at the stock with a holistic perspective. In the case of HDD, it is a company with a a strong track record of performance, trading at a discount. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Heidelberger Druckmaschinen here.
Undervalued with proven track record
Over the past year, HDD has grown its earnings by 54%, with its most recent figure exceeding its annual average over the past five years. Not only did HDD outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Machinery industry expansion, which generated a -5.8% earnings growth. This is an optimistic signal for the future. HDD is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. 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. Compared to the rest of the market, HDD is also trading below other listed companies on the DE stock exchange, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that HDD's price is currently discounted.
