Eckoh plc (AIM:ECK)

Eckoh plc, together with its subsidiaries, provides secure payment products and customer contact solutions for customer contact centers in the United Kingdom, the United States, and internationally. Formed in 1997, and headed by CEO Nicholas Philpot, the company now has 273 employees and with the company’s market cap sitting at GBP £107.79M, it falls under the small-cap stocks category.

ECK’s projected future profit growth is a robust 25.09%, with an underlying 23.87% growth from its revenues expected over the upcoming years. An affirming signal is when net income increase also comes with top-line growth. Even though some cost-reduction initiatives may have also pushed up margins, in the case of ECK, it does not appear too severe. Moreover, the 29.60% growth in operating cash flows shows that a decent part of earnings is driven by robust cash generation from operational activities, not one-off or non-core activities. ECK’s bullish prospects on both the top and bottom lines make it an interesting stock to invest more time to understand how it can add value to your portfolio. Thinking of investing in ECK?
