Undervalued with excellent balance sheet

CG is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that CG manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. CG seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 1.1x 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. CG’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if CG’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the metals and mining industry, CG is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that CG is potentially underpriced.
