In the case of PZA, it is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price.

Excellent balance sheet and good value

PZA'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 suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. PZA's has produced operating cash levels of 0.59x total debt over the past year, which implies that PZA's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. PZA's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of PZA's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the hospitality industry, PZA is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that PZA is potentially undervalued.
