As an investor, I look for investments which does not compromise one fundamental factor for another. By this I mean, I look at stocks holistically, from their financial health to their future outlook. In the case of Campine NV (EBR:CAMB), it is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, take a look at the report on Campine here.
Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
CAMB is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that CAMB manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. CAMB's has produced operating cash levels of 1.79x total debt over the past year, which implies that CAMB's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. CAMB 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 CAMB's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the chemicals industry, CAMB is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that CAMB's price is currently discounted.
