Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I’ve chosen to put the spotlight on MD.C. Holdings Inc. (NYSE:MDC) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. MDC is a financially-robust company with a a great history of performance, trading at a great value. 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, read the full report on M.D.C. Holdings here.

Good value with proven track record and pays a dividend

In the previous year, MDC has ramped up its bottom line by 36.41%, with its latest earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. In addition to beating its historical values, MDC also outperformed its industry, which delivered a growth of 10.84%. This is an notable feat for the company. MDC’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 suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. MDC’s earnings amply cover its interest expense. Paying interest on time and in full can help the company get favourable debt terms in the future, leading to lower cost of debt and helps MDC expand.
