Very undervalued with adequate balance sheet

3996's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This indicates that 3996 has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Debt funding requires timely payments on interest to lenders. 3996’s earnings sufficiently covered its interest in the prior year, which indicates there’s low risk associated with the company not being able to meet these key expenses. 3996's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish.
