available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.
INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
Ambertech
to its discounted cash flow analysis.value.The discounted cash flow value is simply looking at what the company is worth today, based on estimates of how much money it is expected to make in the future.
Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Ambertech.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for ASX:AMO using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Ambertech is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method. We try to start with analysts estimates of free cash flow, however if these are not available we use the most recent financial results. In the 1st stage we continue to grow the free cash flow over a 10 year period, with the growth rate trending towards the perpetual growth rate used in the 2nd stage. The 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.

AMO Future Performance
How is Ambertech expected to perform in the next 1 to 3 years based on estimates from 0 analysts?
In this section we usually present revenue and earnings growth projections based on the consensus estimates of professional analysts to help investors understand the company’s ability to generate profit. But as Ambertech has not provided enough past data and has no analyst forecast, its future earnings cannot be reliably calculated by extrapolating past data or using analyst predictions.

The future performance of a company is measured in the same way as past
performance, by looking at estimated
growth
and how much profit it is expected to make.Future estimates come from professional analysts. Just like forecasting the weather, they don’t always get it right!

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 Ambertech has efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 20%) as it is loss-making.
- Ambertech used its assets less efficiently than the AU Electronic industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
- It is difficult to establish if Ambertech 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 Ambertech'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 Electronic 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)

AMO Health
How is Ambertech's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,

(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Ambertech's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Ambertech is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Ambertech's cash and other short term assets cover its long term commitments.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 4.4x 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.
