Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I’ve chosen to put the spotlight on Wiit S.p.A. (BIT:WIIT) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. WIIT is a financially-robust company with a strong history and an optimistic future outlook. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Wiit here.
High growth potential with proven track record
One reason why investors are attracted to WIIT is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 27%. The optimistic bottom-line growth is supported by an outstanding revenue growth of 56% over the same time period, which indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives. Over the past year, WIIT has grown its earnings by 53%, with its most recent figure exceeding its annual average over the past five years. Not only did WIIT outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the IT industry expansion, which generated a 36% earnings growth. This paints a buoyant picture for the company.
WIIT’s strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This indicates that WIIT has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. WIIT seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 0.56x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows.
