Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on IRC Limited (HKG:1029) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. 1029 is a company with an optimistic growth outlook, which has not yet been reflected in the share price. In the following section, I expand a bit more 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 IRC here.
Very undervalued with reasonable growth potential
One reason why investors are attracted to 1029 is its earnings growth potential in the near future of 22%, supported by its outstanding capacity to churn out cash from operating activities, which is predicted to more than double over the next year. This indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives. 1029 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. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, 1029's share price is trading below the group's average. This further reaffirms that 1029 is potentially undervalued.
