With a five-year debt-free P/E ratio of 11.5x compared to the Swiss market’s 21.3x, it appears to be undervalued.

Business activities: V-ZUG generates revenues of CHF 571.35 million primarily from the consumer electronics sector.
With a strong foothold in the Swiss market, V-ZUG has shown impressive revenue growth of 89.2% over the past year, outperforming its consumer durables peers, which saw a -2.7% change. Although this debt-free company appears to be offering high levels of earnings, it trades 82.1% below its estimated fair value, suggesting it may be undervalued. Even though free cash flow has not been positive recently, V-ZUG is debt-free compared to a debt-to-equity ratio of 22.4% five years ago, which indicates financial prudence. It is well positioned for future growth prospects of 38.68% per year. An industry background that may seem difficult to others.
