Hot Undervalued Stocks To Own For 2019

tags:SJW,LITB,ADSK,MDT,NERV,

There are a number of great companies in the market today. The ModernGraham valuation model selected some of the most undervalued Canadian companies. Each company has been determined to be suitable for the Defensive Investor or the Enterprising Investor according to the ModernGraham approach.

Defensive Investors are defined as investors who are not able or willing to do substantial research into individual investments, and therefore need to select only the companies that present the least amount of risk. Enterprising Investors, on the other hand, are able to do substantial research and can select companies that present a moderate (though still low) amount of risk. Each company suitable for the Defensive Investor is also suitable for Enterprising Investors.

Celestica Inc. (TSX:CLS)

Celestica is suitable for the Enterprising Investor but not the more conservative Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the small size, low current ratio, insufficient earnings stability or growth over the last 10 years and the poor dividend history. The Enterprising Investor is only concerned with the lack of dividends. As a result, all Enterprising Investors should feel comfortable proceeding with the analysis.

  Here's a review of the headline numbers from the company's second quarter:

  Revenue for the period was $13.2 million. This figure was down 15% when compared to the year-ago period. Wall Street expected $17 million in revenue, so this was a significant miss. Management said the decline was caused by lower pricing terms due to its distribution agreement with Medtronic (NYSE:MDT). Gross margin declined 1,330 basis points to 56.1%. Operating expenses dropped 23% to $11.3 million.  Net loss was $3.8 million, or $0.07 per share. Market watchers were expecting a $0.02 loss, so this figure missed the mark, too. Cash balance at quarter end was $108 million.
