Frontage Holdings

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Frontage Holdings Corporation is a contract research organization offering laboratory and related services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical companies, with a market capitalization of approximately HK$2.15 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from North America, contributing $198.50 million, and the People's Republic of China, adding $61.48 million.

Market Cap: HK$2.15B

Frontage Holdings has faced challenges, including a recent drop from the S&P Global BMI Index and negative earnings growth of 64.9% over the past year. Despite stable weekly volatility, its share price remains highly volatile. The company's debt is well covered by operating cash flow, but interest payments are not adequately covered by EBIT. Recent financials show a net loss of US$0.117 million for the half-year ending June 2024, with profit margins declining to 2.3%. Trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value could present an opportunity for risk-tolerant investors in the penny stock space.
