If it's an ESPP (employee stock purchase plan) you may not even need to consider the fundamentals of the stock.

If it offers the purchase at a discount, often the purchase price is the discounted price of the stock at the lower of two prices. The price at the beginning of the purchase period or the price at the end of the purchase period.

Bottom line is that you get at least your discount (and maybe more if the stock price goes up) at the end of the purchase period. If you not into the risk of owning the stock you can just unload it immediately after purchase.

If your discount is 15% you've made at least a 15% profit.
