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 Technical Publications Service S.p.A. (BIT:TPS), it is a financially-healthy company with a a excellent growth outlook, not yet priced into the stock. 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 Technical Publications Service here.
Undervalued with high growth potential
One reason why investors are attracted to TPS is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 33%. This growth in the bottom-line is bolstered by an impressive top-line expansion of 95% over the same period, which is a sustainable driver of high-quality earnings, as opposed to pure cost-cutting activities. TPS’s share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if TPS’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, TPS’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This further reaffirms that TPS is potentially undervalued.
TPS’s ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This indicates that TPS has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. TPS seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 6.31x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows.
