Undervalued with proven track record

TOU delivered a bottom-line expansion of 66% in the prior year, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. In addition to beating its historical values, TOU also outperformed its industry, which delivered a growth of 55%. This is an optimistic signal for the future. TOU's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if TOU's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Compared to the rest of the oil and gas industry, TOU is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that TOU is potentially underpriced.
