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 Qinhuangdao Port Co., Ltd. (HKG:3369), it 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. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, take a look at the report on Qinhuangdao Port here.
Good value with adequate balance sheet
3369's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that 3369 manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. 3369 seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 0.36x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows. 3369's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of 3369's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of 3369's peers, it is also trading at a value below those of similar sizes in asset terms. This further reaffirms that 3369 is potentially undervalued.
