Asset/Liabilities & Current Ratio

BYD’s asset-to-liability ratio of 1.33 suggests a somewhat cautious financial position. While assets exceed liabilities, the margin isn’t substantial, indicating moderate leverage.

However, the current ratio of 0.72 raises a potential concern. This means current assets only cover 72% of current liabilities, implying potential challenges meeting short-term obligations like debts and payables.

Valuation

Based on DCF analysis, BYDDF’s stock price is undervalued. Note that in the analysis we take into consideration also the cash and cash equivalents and the total debt.

Analysts have a positive opinion on BYDDF. The average consensus recommends overweighting or purchasing the stock.

Furthermore, the difference between the current stock prices and the average target price is rather significant, implying a substantial appreciation potential for the stock.
