Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
STARPAPER's strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This implies that STARPAPER manages its cash and cost levels well, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. Investors should not worry about STARPAPER’s debt levels because the company has none! This implies that the company is running its operations purely on off equity funding. which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Therefore the company has plenty of headroom to grow, and the ability to raise debt should it need to in the future. STARPAPER is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts' consensus forecast growth be correct. Compared to the rest of the forestry industry, STARPAPER is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that STARPAPER's price is currently discounted.
