Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGC): The Best Of Both Worlds
Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGC) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. SGC is a financially-sound company with an impressive history high-grade dividend payments, trading at a discount. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on Superior Group of Companies here.
Good value with adequate balance sheet and pays a dividend
SGC is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. SGC appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.22x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. SGC'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 SGC's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Compared to the rest of the luxury industry, SGC is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This further reaffirms that SGC is potentially undervalued.
SGC is also a dividend company, with ample net income to cover its dividend payout, which has been consistently growing over the past decade, keeping income investors happy.
