Headline price/earnings multiples may be unreasonably low, the business might be producing strong cash flow or the net tangible assets of the business may be way above the current price. All the above may signal a potential opportunity. But how do we judge if the stock is good value or just a good value trap? There are a couple of scenarios that investors may want to consider. Firstly let’s start with the basis for the value call: the numbers. The business appears cheap on a particular valuation measure. The first one of these has seen many investors caught in the value trap: net tangible assets (NTA). A stock may be trading at $1 but the NTA, driven by property, equipment or cash, might equal $1.20 per share. Surely this is a simple opportunity? (VIEW LINK)
