Excellent balance sheet established dividend payer
16'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 16 manages its cash and cost levels well, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. 16’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at 17%, which means its debt level is reasonable. This means that 16’s capital structure strikes a good balance between low-cost debt funding and maintaining financial flexibility without overly restrictive terms of debt.
