A Holistic Look At Acme United Corporation (NYSEMKT:ACU)
Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I’ve chosen to put the spotlight on Acme United Corporation (NYSEMKT:ACU) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. ACU is a highly-regarded dividend payer that has been a rockstar for income investors, currently trading at an attractive share price. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. If you’re interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, take a look at the report on Acme United here.
Undervalued established dividend payer
ACU is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts’ consensus forecast growth be correct. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, ACU’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This supports the theory that ACU is potentially underpriced.
For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, ACU is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 2.8%.
