This firm currently holds 8.68 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.08, which may suggest Acer Therapeutics is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. The company has a current ratio of 0.85, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Acer Therapeutics until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Acer Therapeutics' shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Acer Therapeutics sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Acer Therapeutics to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Acer Therapeutics' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
We provide trade advice to complement the prevailing expert consensus on Acer Therapeutics. Our dynamic recommendation engine uses a multidimensional algorithm to analyze the company's potential to grow using all technical and fundamental data available at the time.
We determine the current worth of Acer Therapeutics using both absolute as well as relative valuation methodologies to arrive at its intrinsic value. In general, an absolute valuation paradigm, as applied to this company, attempts to find the value of Acer Therapeutics based exclusively on its fundamental and basic technical indicators. By analyzing Acer Therapeutics's financials, quarterly and monthly indicators, and related drivers such as dividends, operating cash flow, and various types of growth rates, we attempt to find the most accurate representation of Acer Therapeutics's intrinsic value. In some cases, mostly for established, large-cap companies, we also incorporate more traditional valuation methods such as dividend discount, discounted cash flow, or asset-based models. As compared to an absolute model, our relative valuation model uses a comparative analysis of Acer Therapeutics. We calculate exposure to Acer Therapeutics's market risk, different technical and fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then comparing them to Acer Therapeutics's related companies.

Acer Therapeutics is trading at a penny-stock level, and the possibility of delisting is much higher compared to other delisted stocks. However, just because the stock is trading under one dollar, does not mean it will be marked for deletion.

Our Final Perspective on Acer Therapeutics

While some companies in the biotechnology industry are either recovering or due for a correction, Acer Therapeutics may not be performing as strong as the other in terms of long-term growth potentials. To conclude, as of the 16th of December 2022, we believe that at this point, Acer Therapeutics is risky with below average probability of financial unrest within the next 2 years. From a slightly different point of view, the entity appears to be undervalued. Our actual 90 days 'Buy-vs-Sell' recommendation on the enterprise is Strong Buy.
