Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE:RWT) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. RWT is a well-regarded dividend payer with a buoyant future outlook, not yet factored into the price. 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 Redwood Trust here.
Undervalued with reasonable growth potential and pays a dividend
RWT's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of RWT's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, RWT's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that RWT is potentially underpriced.
RWT's high dividend payments make it one of the best dividend stocks on the market, and it has also been able to maintain it at a level in which net income is able to cover dividend payments.
