For those interested in digging a bit deeper into my commentary, take a look at the report on Esautomotion here.

Undervalued with excellent balance sheet

ESAU is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. ESAU seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 3.86x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows. ESAU's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. 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, ESAU's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that ESAU is potentially underpriced.
