Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Albert David Limited (NSE:ALBERTDA) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. ALBERTDA is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price. Below, I've touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. For those interested in digging a bit deeper into my commentary, take a look at the report on Albert David here.
Flawless balance sheet and good value
ALBERTDA's strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This indicates that ALBERTDA has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. ALBERTDA appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 72.24x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. ALBERTDA 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 pharmaceuticals industry, ALBERTDA is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that ALBERTDA is potentially underpriced.
