As of June 17, 2020, AC was last traded at 790.5PHP per share. The company is one of the PSE index company and top gainers from yesterday’s trading. Its market price dropped by at least 20% from its 52 week high, largely because of the COVID19 pandemic. But is it now fundamentally cheap to buy?
In terms of P/E, AC recorded a trailing P/E of 14.6, meaning, for every 1PHP earning last 2019, investors of this company are willing or are paying 14.6Php. With 14.6 P/E and with a growth rate of 10.9% (change in EPS) from 2018 to 2019, the company trailing PEG ratio would be 0.36 which would be considered undervalued, typically, a PEG ratio of less than is in the category of undervalued.
In terms of price to book value per share, the current market price is currently 1.6 times higher than the book value as recorded in their March 2020 financial report, meaning, the company is perceived to be just 1.6 times higher compared to the real worth of the company. In terms of this parameter, It’s also undervalued, typically, PBV of less than 3 is considered undervalued.
In terms of income, as per their March 2020 financial statement, expectedly, it dropped by 17%.
Is this a good stock to accumulate fundamentally in this pandemic period? Based on the parameters above, it suggests that it’s fundamentally cheap to buy in this period.
