Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on Silverlake Axis Ltd (SGX:5CP) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. 5CP is a financially-healthy company with a strong track record and a buoyant future outlook. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on Silverlake Axis here.

Excellent balance sheet with solid track record

5CP delivered a bottom-line expansion of 45% in the prior year, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. This illustrates a strong track record, leading to a satisfying return on equity of 37%. which paints a buoyant picture for the company.

5CP'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 crucial insight into the health of the company. 5CP appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 3.62x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
