Some insight:
Maybe this is the worst return when an investor invests an undervalued company - Winding-up. Undervalued company is not only has low PE, but also has a healthy balance sheet, dividend, and good prospect. In other words, undervalued company is a very good company but not yet get attention in the public.

Just assuming a company is an undervalued company based on its PE is very risky and dangerous. Because the PE value can be manipulated by debt and borrowing. Therefore, investor should avoid this kind of companies.

One of the value investment strategies is to calculate the value of a company when it is going to winding-up. Why a company want to winding-up even though it still gets profit annually? PN17? Undervalued? or another secret plan?

That's all for today. Feel free to give me a comment about this topic or any suggestion about Xaivier Blog. It will be a great support to Xaivier Blog.
