A Holistic Look At X Financial (NYSE:XYF)
I've been keeping an eye on X Financial (NYSE:XYF) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe XYF has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a company that has been able to sustain great financial health, trading at an attractive share price. Below, I've touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on X Financial here.
Undervalued with adequate balance sheet
XYF'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 indicates that XYF has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. With a debt-to-equity ratio of 10.0%, XYF’s debt level is acceptable. This indicates a good balance between taking advantage of low cost funding through debt financing, but having enough financial flexibility and headroom to grow debt in the future. XYF is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of XYF's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the consumer finance industry, XYF is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that XYF's price is currently discounted.
