I've been keeping an eye on MBH Corporation PLC (FRA:M8H) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe M8H has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a financially-robust company with an optimistic growth outlook, not yet priced into the stock. Below, I've touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on MBH here.
Exceptional growth potential and undervalued
One reason why investors are attracted to M8H is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 27%. This growth in the bottom-line is bolstered by an equally impressive top-line expansion over the same period, which is a sustainable driver of high-quality earnings, as opposed to pure cost-cutting activities. M8H's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if M8H's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the consumer services industry, M8H is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that M8H is potentially undervalued.
M8H’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at 6.0%, which means its debt level is acceptable. This means that M8H’s capital structure strikes a good balance between low-cost debt funding and maintaining financial flexibility without overly restrictive terms of debt. M8H appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.46x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
