Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
AEF is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that AEF manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. AEF's has produced operating cash levels of 0.3x total debt over the past year, which implies that AEF's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. AEF is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if AEF's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the luxury industry, AEF is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that AEF is potentially undervalued.
