Excellent balance sheet and good value

METC's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. METC seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 1.43x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows. METC's share price is trading at below its true value, meaning that the market sentiment for the stock is currently bearish. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of METC's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, METC's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that METC is potentially underpriced.
