I’ve been keeping an eye on Rice Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:RMP) because I’m attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe RMP has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a financially-robust company with a an impressive history superior dividend payments, trading at a great value.

Undervalued with adequate balance sheet and pays a dividend
RMP’s ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This indicates that RMP has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. RMP appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.58x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated. RMP is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company’s expected cash flow going forward. Investors have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains, if RMP’s projected earnings trajectory does follow analyst consensus growth, which determines my intrinsic value of the company. Also, relative to the rest of its peers with similar levels of earnings, RMP’s share price is trading below the group’s average. This bolsters the proposition that RMP’s price is currently discounted.
RMP is considered one of the top dividend payers in the market, and its profitability ensures that dividends are well-covered by its net income.
