Pittsburgh, PA (SpeculatingStocks) - One of our smallest market cap. stocks in an article yet, Bassett Furniture Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:BSET), is showing very short term upper moving momentum according to the MACD, which measures the divergence between current prices and trailing prices.
Making sure to keep in mind a small amount of volume on this stock, about 9,250 shares per day, this stock could afford to move up a great deal. With earnings at $4.84 per share and a current share price at $7.60 per share (10:30 AM EDT, October 27, 2011), this stock already seems to be undervalued as its P/E is only 1.59, which is low in general.
It is important to note that over a period of 6 months, the momentum is reversed and seems to be leading towards a bearish movement on this stock, but that doesn’t mean possible gains can’t be made in the short run. Another option might be to look at this stock as a long run potential of gains.
Basset manufactures and retails home furnishings, so it’s a bit of an interesting sector, but people always want new home furniture, sometimes they even need it with growing families and children becoming adolescents.
BSET has a fairly stable financial backing with a quick acid ratio of 3.08, so it will be able to pay off outstanding debts easily when they come due. They also have a strong total debt to asset ratio of 0.46, indicating that their debt makes up less than half of their assets in comparison.
Bassett Furniture is an interesting firm to keep an eye on, they have nice products, but in these markets anything is possible. In a stock with low volume like this, play your cards cautiously, or you may not be able to get out once you get in, no matter your movement.
