Excellent balance sheet and good value

MCR'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 MCR manages its cash and cost levels well, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. MCR seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 1.51x 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. MCR is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. 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, MCR's share price is trading below the group's average. This further reaffirms that MCR is potentially undervalued.
