If you’re interested in understanding beyond my high-level commentary, take a look at the report on Star Paper Mills here.
Very undervalued with flawless balance sheet
STARPAPER is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. STARPAPER appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 20.83x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. STARPAPER 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 forestry industry, STARPAPER is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that STARPAPER is potentially underpriced.
