For investors that want to reduce risk, finding debt free stocks trading below cash per share may be the way to go. Companies without debt are a safe bet; it's hard for them to go out of business unless they have an extremely high burn rate.
But if the company is trading for less than the amount of cash per share, it makes the stock a super buy. The cash per share is calculated by taking the total amount of cash and cash-like securities, divided by the number of shares. Here are a few stocks that meet this criteria.
BroadVision, Inc. (BVSN) closed at 5.56 a share on Friday, but has $8.22 per share in cash. This Redwood City, California company makes and sells enterprise portal applications. Plus the company is free of debt.
Ceres (CERE) produces and markets energy crops to produce renewable bioenergy feedstocks. The stock closed at 23 cents a share, with 45 cents a share in cash. The company does have a small amount of debt, approximately $55,000.
Deswell Industries (DSWL) is a Macau based company that makes and markets injection-molded plastic parts and components. The company has 2.38 in cash per share but closed at 1.88, plus it is debt free.
Ambassadors Group (EPAX) organizes and promotes worldwide educational travel programs for students. The stock is at 2.59, with 2.77 in cash per share. The company has no debt.

Debt Free Stocks Selling Below Cash
If you are looking for a safe stock, a company that has no debt and has shares trading below the cash per share, you can't get a better deal than that. It means that if the company goes out of business immediately and all assets are distributed to the investors, the investors would each receive more than the current price per share. You can't get a better safety floor than that.
Why would a stock sell for less than cash? There could be several reasons. The company may have recently announced terrible earnings which drove the stock pice down farther than it normally would have fallen. The stock may have been hit hard due to tax selling. Tax selling is when investors sell shares before year end that are currently at a huge loss, in order to get the tax benefits of generating a capital loss for the current year.
So are there really such companies who's stocks sell for less than cash? Yes, there are several. Here are a few examples.
Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals (CYCC) is a biopharmaceutical company developing mechanism targeted drugs to treat cancer. The company is debt free and $26.8 million in cash, amounting to $1.17 in cash per share, whereas the stock is trading for 70 cents per share. Revenues for the latest quarter were up 137.9%.
Delcath Systems (DCTH) is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company, which is debt free with $23 million in cash. The cash per share is $2.47 with a stock price of $1.35. Revenues for the latest quarter were up ober 201%.
