6 star dividend payer and undervalued
GIPCL’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 suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. GIPCL seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 0.55x total debt in the most recent year.
