MARR, a smaller player in the consumer retailing sector, has shown resilience with its earnings growing 0.5% over the past year, outpacing the industry average of -3.6%. The company seems to manage its debt well, reducing its debt-to-equity ratio from 113.5% to 83.1% over five years and maintaining a satisfactory net debt-to-equity ratio of 37.2%. Trading at nearly 89% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation.
