Below we spotlight a couple of our favorites from our exclusive screener.
Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Bawan Company operates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, focusing on the manufacturing and sale of metal and steel works, with a market capitalization of SAR2.71 billion.
Operations: Bawan generates revenue primarily from its Metal and Wood segment, contributing SAR2.12 billion, followed by the Electrical segment at SAR571.18 million and the Plastic segment at SAR365.98 million.
Bawan, a smaller player in the market, has shown some resilience despite recent challenges. The company’s debt to equity ratio significantly improved from 129.4% to 50.4% over five years, indicating better financial management. However, its net debt to equity remains high at 41.6%, suggesting room for improvement in leveraging strategies. Earnings growth lags behind the industry at -6.1%, but forecasts suggest a potential annual growth of 17%. Recent earnings reports reveal sales of SAR 682 million and net income of SAR 23 million for Q3, down from last year’s figures but still reflecting solid operational performance amidst sector-wide pressures.

Operations: Bet Shemesh Engines generates revenue primarily from two segments: Engines, contributing $80.08 million, and Manufacturing of Parts, with $165.10 million. The company does not report any “Other,” “Unallocated,” or “Inter-Segment” amounts in its financial data.
Bet Shemesh Engines, a player in the Aerospace & Defense sector, showcases impressive growth with earnings skyrocketing 968% over the past year, outpacing industry norms. The company’s debt to equity ratio has improved significantly from 46.3% to 22.8% over five years, indicating effective financial management. Trading at a notable 67.1% below its estimated fair value suggests potential upside for investors seeking undervalued opportunities. Recent inclusion in indices like TA-125 and S&P Global BMI highlights its rising prominence. With net income reaching US$9 million this quarter compared to US$3 million last year, Bet Shemesh is on an upward trajectory.
