As an investor, I look for investments which does not compromise one fundamental factor for another. By this I mean, I look at stocks holistically, from their financial health to their future outlook. In the case of Réalités (EPA:ALREA), it is a financially-sound company with a strong history and an optimistic growth outlook. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in digging a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Réalités here.
Exceptional growth potential and good value
One reason why investors are attracted to ALREA is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 40%. Earnings growth is paired with an eye-catching top-line trajectory of 56%, which indicates a high-quality bottom-line expansion, as opposed to those driven simple by unsustainable cost-cutting activities. Over the past year, ALREA has grown its earnings by 35%, with its most recent figure exceeding its annual average over the past five years. Not only did ALREA outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Real Estate industry expansion, which generated a 9.9% earnings growth. This is an notable feat for the company.
ALREA's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that ALREA manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. Debt funding requires timely payments on interest to lenders. ALREA’s earnings sufficiently covered its interest in the prior year, which indicates there’s low risk associated with the company not being able to meet these key expenses.
