Our customer, a small-cap industrials firm, faced a significant challenge magnified by the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The resulting constraints on movement and disruptions in the supply chain had a pronounced impact on the company’s short-term business operations and financial performance. Despite boasting extensive industry expertise and maintaining enduring customer relationships, the company currently finds itself trading at a substantial discount compared to its peers.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, the company’s unrecognized valuation became evident, with its P/E ratio notably lower than both its overseas-listed counterparts and A-share-listed companies in the industrial sector. Having recognized the urgent need to illuminate this underappreciation within the investment community, our research team was tasked with meticulously crafting and publishing a comprehensive initiation report for the company. This report aimed to shine a spotlight on the company’s intrinsic value and potential, specifically addressing the prevailing market undervaluation that the company is currently trading at.
