NFI Group Inc (TSE:NFI): The Best Of Both Worlds

I’ve been keeping an eye on NFI Group Inc (TSE:NFI) because I’m attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe NFI has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a company with a a strong track record of performance, trading at a discount. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, take a look at the report on NFI Group here.

Good value with proven track record

Over the past few years, NFI has demonstrated a proven ability to generate robust returns of 24% Unsurprisingly, NFI surpassed the Machinery industry return of 12%, which gives us more confidence of the company’s capacity to drive earnings going forward. NFI is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if NFI’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, NFI’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This further reaffirms that NFI is potentially undervalued.
