I've been keeping an eye on Shoppers Stop Limited (NSE:SHOPERSTOP) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe SHOPERSTOP has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a company with impressive financial health as well as a excellent growth outlook. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you're interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, read the full report on Shoppers Stop here.
Excellent balance sheet with reasonable growth potential
One reason why investors are attracted to SHOPERSTOP is its earnings growth potential in the near future of 33%, supported by its outstanding capacity to churn out cash from operating activities, which is predicted to more than double over the next year. This indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives. SHOPERSTOP’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at 8.9%, which means its debt level is reasonable. This means that SHOPERSTOP’s capital structure strikes a good balance between low-cost debt funding and maintaining financial flexibility without overly restrictive terms of debt. SHOPERSTOP seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 2.58x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows.
