B2H is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of B2H's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of NO companies with similar levels of earnings, B2H's share price is trading below the group's average. This further reaffirms that B2H is potentially undervalued.
