Undervalued with excellent balance sheet

COG's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that COG manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. COG seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 0.5x 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. COG's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of COG's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the metals and mining industry, COG is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that COG is potentially underpriced.
