Biggest Stock Decliners Year to Date on NASDAQ

Bottom 25 Companies

Lists like these are always interesting to look at as they tell more than one story.

Stocks Trading at Less than Cash Value

Molina Healthcare (MOH:NYS) and Seadrill (SDRL:NYS) Trading at Less than Cash Value

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.

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.
