Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on NetEnt AB (publ) (STO:NET B) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. NET B is a financially-healthy company with a an optimistic future outlook, not yet priced into the stock. Below, I've touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, take a look at the report on NetEnt here.

Excellent balance sheet and good value

NET B is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if NET B's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, NET B's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that NET B's price is currently discounted.

NET B's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This indicates that NET B has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. NET B seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 2.99x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows.
