AJ Bell

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: AJ Bell plc operates investment platforms in the United Kingdom and has a market cap of £1.82 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue from Investment Services amounts to £268.53 million.

Market Cap: £1.82B

AJ Bell, with a market cap of £1.82 billion and revenue of £268.53 million from its investment services, is noteworthy for its robust financial health, highlighted by being debt-free and having short-term assets (£257.3M) exceeding both short-term (£70.8M) and long-term liabilities (£14.1M). The company has demonstrated significant earnings growth at 23.6% over the past year, surpassing both its five-year average growth rate (20.1%) and the industry average (12.6%). Despite these strengths, AJ Bell's board is relatively inexperienced with an average tenure of 2.8 years, which may be a consideration for investors seeking seasoned leadership in penny stocks.
