Outstanding track record with high growth potential
BLS delivered a bottom-line expansion of 41% in the prior year, with its most recent 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 39%. which paints a buoyant picture for the company.
BLS is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. BLS’s has produced operating cash levels of 0.51x total debt over the past year, which implies that BLS’s management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.
