Flawless balance sheet and good value
Over the past few years, KGR has demonstrated a proven ability to generate robust returns of 6.0% Unsurprisingly, KGR surpassed the industry return of 5.5%, which gives us more confidence of the company's capacity to drive earnings going forward. KGR'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 implies that KGR manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. KGR's has produced operating cash levels of 1.18x total debt over the past year, which implies that KGR's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.
KGR's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if KGR's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the machinery industry, KGR is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that KGR is potentially underpriced.
