Flawless balance sheet with solid track record
Over the past few years, FEVR has demonstrated a proven ability to generate robust returns of 32%. Unsurprisingly, FEVR surpassed the Beverage industry return of 20%, which gives us more confidence of the company's capacity to drive earnings going forward. FEVR is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This indicates that FEVR has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. Investors should not worry about FEVR’s debt levels because the company has none! This implies that the company is running its operations purely on off equity funding. which is rather impressive for a UK£2.5b market cap company. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent and the company has plenty of headroom to grow debt in the future, should the need arise.
