Undervalued Stocks

Par Pacific Holdings (PARR:ASE) and Sandstorm Gold (SAND:ASE) Are Undervalued

I have used the analysis tools on the website stockcalc.com to generate some of the content of this blog post. These tools and reports are available for free at www.stockcalc.com/TopPicks.aspx.

Undervalued Stocks on AMEX

Today we are looking at companies that are considered undervalued based on the Analyst data in the StockCalc database.

In the table below we can see the close price and target price for these companies along with the number of analysts covering the stock. We also have included the fiscal year for the target price as sometimes these analyst targets are not for the current or even the next fiscal year.

There can be a number of reasons why a company would be on this list. What is particularly interesting are companies with a large analyst following that make this list. We need to dig deeper into these companies to understand why the difference in price versus target.

Stocks Trading at Less than Cash Value

SunLink Health Systems (SSY:ASE) and ImmunoCellular (IMUC:ASE) Trading at Less than Cash Value

Trading at Less than Cash Value

Today we are looking at companies trading at less than cash value meaning companies whose current share price is less than the cash per share on the balance sheet. We also show the value of cash net debt per share to show how much cash per share would be left if the debt was paid off.

What this Means…

Companies can have more cash per share than the actual share price for a number of reasons including they just raised capital, are in industries that experience high burn rates and will eat through the cash quickly or if there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company. Companies earning a positive net income will have a P/E greater than 0 and are worth exploring in more detail.

Bottom 25 Companies

Lists like these are always interesting to look at as they tell more than one story. Companies that are experiencing dramatic decreases in share price can do so for a variety of reasons including, the sector they are in has turned (such as companies in an unfavorable commodities space or a sector that has been disrupted), or the company is experiencing financial difficulties generally due to an inability to service its debt.

In this list we have selected the top 25 companies based on their percentage decrease in share price year to date.
