Very undervalued with flawless balance sheet and pays a dividend

RDW has a strong track record of performance. In the previous year, RDW delivered an impressive double-digit return of 21% Unsurprisingly, RDW surpassed the Consumer Durables industry return of 16%, which gives us more confidence of the company’s capacity to drive earnings going forward. RDW’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 RDW manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. RDW’s has produced operating cash levels of 7.33x total debt over the past year, which implies that RDW’s management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.

RDW 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, RDW’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This supports the theory that RDW is potentially underpriced.
