Good value with adequate balance sheet
WEI's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that WEI manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. WEI's has produced operating cash levels of 0.83x total debt over the past year, which implies that WEI's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings. WEI'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 WEI's projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, WEI's share price is trading below the group's average. This further reaffirms that WEI is potentially undervalued.
