Undervalued with excellent balance sheet

EVOL's strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This indicates that EVOL has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. EVOL appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.61x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. EVOL'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. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, EVOL's share price is trading below the group's average. This further reaffirms that EVOL is potentially undervalued.
