What our checks show for 086520.KQ

Red flags

• Net debt is 6.8x a year of EBITDA (debt/equity 2.11). That limits room in a downturn and raises refinancing risk.
• The net margin fell by 11.7 points over 5 years, to 4.2%: the company keeps less of each sale as profit.
• Operating cash flow is only 0.31x net profit: part of the reported profit does not arrive as cash.
• Revenue fell 16.2% a year over the last 3 years.
• The net margin is only 4.2%: little room if costs rise.
• Free cash flow is negative (-18.3% of revenue): the business spends more cash than it brings in.
• The price swings a lot: 89.8% annual volatility. Expect large ups and downs.
• The stock has fallen as much as 89% from a peak. Would you have held through that?
• Recovering from its deepest fall took about 8.7 years.
• Return on capital (ROCE) is only 3.5%.
• Pay in shares equals 0% of free cash flow: it dilutes shareholders.
