Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Sapmer SA (EPA:ALMER) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. ALMER is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, take a look at the report on Sapmer here.
Undervalued with excellent balance sheet
ALMER'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. ALMER's has produced operating cash levels of 0.36x total debt over the past year, which implies that ALMER's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. ALMER's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if ALMER's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, ALMER's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that ALMER is potentially underpriced.
