As an investor, I look for investments which does not compromise one fundamental factor for another. By this I mean, I look at stocks holistically, from their financial health to their future outlook. In the case of Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ:PERI), it is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, take a look at the report on Perion Network here.
Very undervalued with adequate balance sheet
PERI is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This indicates that PERI has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. PERI's has produced operating cash levels of 1.81x total debt over the past year, which implies that PERI's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. PERI's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of PERI's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, PERI's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that PERI is potentially underpriced.
