I've been keeping an eye on FRoSTA Aktiengesellschaft (FRA:NLM) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe NLM has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a financially-sound company with a an optimistic future outlook, not yet factored into the price. Below, I've touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, take a look at the report on FRoSTA here.

Flawless balance sheet and good value

NLM's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. 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. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, NLM's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that NLM's price is currently discounted.

NLM is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. NLM appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 1.12x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
