I've been keeping an eye on AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft (VIE:ATS) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe ATS has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a financially-healthy company with an impressive history high-quality dividend payments, trading at a discount. 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 AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik here.
Very undervalued with excellent balance sheet and pays a dividend
ATS is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that ATS manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. ATS appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.26x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. ATS is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of ATS's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, ATS's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that ATS's price is currently discounted.
For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, ATS is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 4.3%.
