Very undervalued with flawless balance sheet
In the previous year, OZL has ramped up its bottom line by 75%, with its latest earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. In addition to beating its historical values, OZL also outperformed its industry, which delivered a growth of 26%. This is what investors like to see! OZL is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that OZL manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Looking at OZL’s capital structure, the company has no debt on its balance sheet. It has only utilized funding from its equity capital to run the business, which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Therefore the company has plenty of headroom to grow, and the ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.
OZL 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. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, OZL’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This supports the theory that OZL is potentially underpriced.
