Undervalued with adequate balance sheet
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.4%, MMH’s debt level is rather small. Investors’ risk associated with debt is very low and the company has plenty of headroom to grow debt in the future, should the need arise. MMH's has produced operating cash levels of 3.72x total debt over the past year, which implies that MMH's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. MMH'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. Compared to the rest of the market, MMH is also trading below other listed companies on the GB stock exchange, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that MMH is potentially underpriced.
