Excellent balance sheet and good value

1743's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. 1743 appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 2.42x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. 1743'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, 1743's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that 1743's price is currently discounted.
