JB Foods and Indofood Agri Resources are two of the consumer staple stocks I have identified as undervalued. This means their current share prices are trading at levels less than what the companies are actually worth. Investors can determine how much a company is worth based on how much money they are expected to make in the future, or compared to the value of their peers. The list I’ve put together below are of stocks that compare favourably on all criteria, which potentially makes them good investments if you believe the price should eventually reflect the stock’s actual value.
JB Foods Limited (SGX:BEW)
JB Foods Limited, an investment holding company, produces and sells cocoa ingredient products. Established in 2012, and headed by CEO How Tey, the company provides employment to 526 people and with the company’s market cap sitting at SGD SGD166.76M, it falls under the small-cap group.
BEW’s shares are now trading at -70% below its true value of $1.81, at a price tag of S$0.55, based on its expected future cash flows. This mismatch indicates a potential opportunity to buy low. Also, BEW’s PE ratio is trading at around 6.55x relative to its Food peer level of, 13.42x implying that relative to its peers, we can invest in BEW at a lower price. BEW is also robust in terms of financial health, as short-term assets amply cover upcoming and long-term liabilities.
