As an investor, I look for investments which does not compromise one fundamental factor for another. By this I mean, I look at stocks holistically, from their financial health to their future outlook. In the case of Polyplex Corporation Limited (NSE:POLYPLEX), it is a financially-sound company with a great history and a excellent future outlook. Below, I've touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, take a look at the report on Polyplex here.
Flawless balance sheet, undervalued and pays a dividend
In the previous year, POLYPLEX has ramped up its bottom line by 70%, with its latest earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did POLYPLEX outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Chemicals industry expansion, which generated a 9.3% earnings growth. This paints a buoyant picture for the company.
POLYPLEX'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 implies that POLYPLEX manages its cash and cost levels well, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. POLYPLEX appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.7x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
