Operations: The company's revenue is primarily generated from the operation of its on-demand food delivery platform, totaling £2.04 billion.

Market Cap: £2.31B

Deliveroo plc, with a market cap of £2.31 billion, has recently achieved profitability, marking a significant shift in its financial trajectory. The company operates debt-free, with short-term assets (£834.5M) comfortably exceeding both short and long-term liabilities. Despite this strong balance sheet position, Deliveroo's Return on Equity remains low at 9.9%, and recent insider selling raises concerns about potential future performance. The board is experienced; however, the management team lacks tenure depth, indicating recent changes in leadership structure. Trading significantly below its estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation opportunities for investors considering penny stocks.
