Why Fundamental Investors Might Love Magellan Aerospace Corporation (TSE:MAL)

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. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you’re interested in understanding beyond my high-level commentary, take a look at the report on Magellan Aerospace here.

Flawless balance sheet and undervalued

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 implies that MAL manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. MAL seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 1.56x 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 is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. 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. Compared to the rest of the aerospace & defense industry, MAL is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that MAL is potentially undervalued.
