Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Subex Limited (NSE:SUBEX) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. SUBEX 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. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on Subex here.
Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
SUBEX's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Looking at SUBEX's capital structure, the company has no debt on its balance sheet. This means it is running its business only on equity capital funding, which is typically normal for a small-cap company. SUBEX has plenty of financial flexibility, without debt obligations to meet in the short term, as well as the headroom to raise debt should it need to in the future. SUBEX 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 SUBEX's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the software industry, SUBEX is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that SUBEX is potentially undervalued.
