Flawless balance sheet with solid track record
In the past couple of years, SIEB has ramped up its bottom line by over 100%, with its latest 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 55%, which is an optimistic signal for the future. SIEB'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 SIEB has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Investors should not worry about SIEB’s debt levels because the company has none! This means it is running its business only on equity capital funding, which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Therefore the company has plenty of headroom to grow, and the ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.
