MSB Value
Is Mesoblast undervalued based on future cash flows and its price relative to the stock market?
Value is all about what a company is worth versus what price it is
available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.
- It is not possible to calculate the future cash flow value for Mesoblast. This is due to cash flow or dividend data being unavailable. The share price is A$1.565.
PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET
We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for
it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing
when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.The amount the stock market is willing to pay for Mesoblast's earnings, growth and assets is considered below, and whether this is a fair price.

We want to ensure a company is making the most of what it has available. This is
done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available
funds,
assets
and
capital.
- It is difficult to establish if Mesoblast has efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 20%) as it is loss-making.
- It is difficult to establish if Mesoblast has efficiently used its assets last year compared to the Global Biotechs industry average (Return on Assets) as it is loss-making.
- It is difficult to establish if Mesoblast improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed) as it is currently loss-making.
Past performance checks
We assess Mesoblast's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:- Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Biotechs industry? (1 check)
- Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)

MSB Health
How is Mesoblast's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,
it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Mesoblast's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Mesoblast is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Mesoblast's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- Low level of unsold assets.
- Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 1.5x debt.
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
