Why I Like Cortex Business Solutions Inc (CVE:CBX)

CBX is a financially-healthy company with a a buoyant growth outlook, not yet factored into the price. Below, I’ve touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Cortex Business Solutions here.

Excellent balance sheet and good value

CBX’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 CBX’s earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the internet industry, CBX is also trading below its peers of similar sizes in terms of their assets. This supports the theory that CBX is potentially underpriced.

CBX’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. CBX’s has produced operating cash levels of 42.63x total debt over the past year, which implies that CBX’s management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.
