Undervalued with excellent balance sheet
MEET's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of MEET's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, MEET's share price is trading below the group's average. This bolsters the proposition that MEET's price is currently discounted.
MEET's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. MEET seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 1.01x 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.
