Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
CMCM's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that CMCM manages its cash and cost levels well, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. Investors should not worry about CMCM’s debt levels because the company has none! This means it is running its business only on equity capital funding, which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent and the company has plenty of headroom to grow debt in the future, should the need arise. CMCM's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of CMCM'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, CMCM's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that CMCM is potentially underpriced.
