ACSO is a financially-sound company with a a buoyant future outlook, not yet reflected in the share price. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on accesso Technology Group here.

Excellent balance sheet and good value

ACSO is an attractive stock for growth-seeking investors, with an expected earnings growth of 38% in the upcoming year, made up of high-quality, operational cash from its core business, which is expected to increase by 69% next year. This indicates a high-quality bottom-line expansion, as opposed to those driven by unsustainable cost-cutting activities. ACSO is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. 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 ACSO's peers, it is also trading at a value below those of similar sizes in asset terms. This bolsters the proposition that ACSO's price is currently discounted.

ACSO is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that ACSO manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. ACSO appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 1.04x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
