MDC's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that MDC manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. Debt funding requires timely payments on interest to lenders. MDC’s earnings sufficiently covered its interest in the prior year, which indicates there’s low risk associated with the company not being able to meet these key expenses. MDC'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 MDC's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the market, MDC is also trading below other listed companies on the US stock exchange, relative to earnings generated.
