366'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 366 has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. 366 appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 2.81x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. 366's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish.

Compared to the rest of the materials industry, 366 is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that 366 is potentially underpriced.
