Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I’ve chosen to put the spotlight on IRCE SpA (BIT:IRC) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. IRC 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 high-level commentary, take a look at the report on IRCE here.
Good value with adequate balance sheet
IRC is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. Debt funding requires timely payments on interest to lenders. IRC’s earnings sufficiently covered its interest in the prior year, which indicates there’s low risk associated with the company not being able to meet these key expenses. IRC’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its PE ratio of 15.51x, compared to the industry and wider stock market ratio, making it a relatively cheap stock compared to its peers.
