4. Valuation

Stanley is undervalued selling below its book value of $4.81 and has about $17 million dollars in cash on the balance sheet. The company reported -0.89 cent per shares for earnings and -1.30 per share in free cash flow. As the company lowers its costs to make goods by manufacturing products overseas. This will allow the the company to make more money off of its goods. It has massively underperformed its peers and should trade up to book value. It has a current ratio of 5.25 that shows the company is over capitalized and needs to return cash, sell assets, or do a stock buyback to close the gap between the current stock price and book value.

5 Risk

The risk is that the company can't return to profitablity and the stock price will stall or fall. The company is in a business that hasn't done well since the Financial Crisis. The risk for permanent loss of capital is there but the margin of safety of over 20% will protect potential investors capital. The company could be what value investor call, the "value trap" that based on the numbers its undervalued but it never realizes that value.
