Attractive stocks have exceptional fundamentals. In the case of Magellan Aerospace Corporation (TSE:MAL), there's is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in digging a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Magellan Aerospace here.

Flawless balance sheet and good value

MAL'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 an important determinant of the company’s health. MAL seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 1.58x 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. MAL's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. 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, MAL's share price is trading below the group's average. This further reaffirms that MAL is potentially undervalued.
