Emerson Radio A Good Buy – Emerson Radio Corp (NYSEMKT:MSN)

Wednesday, May 20, 2015 · Tobias Carlisle

A nice note from contrarian investor Nicholas Bodnar on Emerson Radio (MSN), the cheapest stock in the Small and Micro Cap Screener.

The stock’s at $1.35 with cash backing of $1.45. It’s a rare stock that trades at a discount to NCAV, and cash, which, even with a terrible business, makes it a free hit.

Summary

  • Zero debt company trading below NCAV.2014’s free cash flow per share is $0.22 yet earnings per share are $0.05.
  • This suggest an undervaluation at current prices.
  • Earnings, revenue and FCF have dropped significantly due to loss of business from a huge customer.
  • I expect the company to stay profitable in the future due to the simplicity of running the business.

NCAV Valuation

Assets: 63,625,000

Liabilities: 3,766,000

Preferred Stock: 3,310,000

NCAV: (63,625,000-3,766,000-3,310,000)/27,129,832=$2.08

The current price of MSN is $1.37 and the cash per share of MSN is $1.45. Buying MSN for the price it is at now is a steal based on NCAV investing.
