Flawless balance sheet with solid track record
DME has a strong track record of performance. In the previous year, DME delivered an impressive double-digit return of 23% Not surprisingly, DME outperformed its industry which returned 23%, giving us more conviction of the company’s capacity to drive bottom-line growth going forward. DME 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 a crucial insight into the health of the company. DME currently has no debt on its balance sheet. It has only utilized funding from its equity capital to run the business, 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.
DME’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of DME’s earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the interactive media and services industry, DME is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that DME’s price is currently discounted.
