Flawless balance sheet and undervalued
YRD'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 YRD'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, YRD's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that YRD's price is currently discounted.
YRD's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This indicates that YRD has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Investors should not worry about YRD’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. YRD has plenty of financial flexibility, without debt obligations to meet in the short term, as well as the headroom to raise debt should it need to in the future.
