Undervalued with proven track record
SO delivered a bottom-line expansion of 19% in the prior year, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did SO outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Auto Components industry expansion, which generated a 14% earnings growth. This is what investors like to see! SO is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of SO’s earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the auto components industry, SO is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that SO is potentially underpriced.
