Chicago, IL – October 13, 2022 – Stocks in this week’s article are Marubeni Corp. (MARUY - Free Report) , SP Plus Corp. , RCM Technologies, Inc. (RCMT - Free Report) and Euroseas Ltd. (ESEA - Free Report) .
Buy These 4 Stocks with Rising Cash Flows Ahead of Q3 Earnings
Crunching profit numbers and evaluating surprises might be a preferred method for scooping up big gains in the impending Q3 earnings season. However, looking beyond profits and assessing a company’s cash position can be far more rewarding because it indicates a firm’s true financial health.
In this regard, stocks like Marubeni Corp., SP Plus Corp., RCM Technologies, Inc. and Euroseas Ltd. are worth buying.
Even a profitable business can fail if its cash flow is uneven and eventually file for bankruptcy. A company with a healthy cash position has the capability to effectively tide over any market mayhem and still be on its growth curve, besides enjoying the flexibility to make decisions, chase potential investments and run its growth engine.
In fact, analyzing a company’s cash-generating efficiency has indeed become more relevant in the current context amid uncertainties in the global economy, market disruptions and dislocations, as well as liquidity concerns resulting from geopolitical tensions or the pandemic.
To figure out this efficiency, one needs to consider a company’s net cash flow. While in any business cash moves in and out, it is net cash flow that explains how much money a company is actually generating.
If a company is experiencing a positive cash flow, it denotes an increase in its liquid assets, which gives it the means to meet debt obligations, shell out for expenses, reinvest in the business, endure downturns and finally return wealth to shareholders. On the other hand, a negative cash flow indicates a decline in the company’s liquidity, which in turn lowers its flexibility to support these moves.
However, having a positive cash flow merely does not secure a company’s future growth. To ride on the growth curve, a company must have its cash flow increasing because that indicates management’s efficiency in regulating its cash movements and less dependency on outside financing for running its business.
Therefore, keep yourself abreast with the following screen to bet on stocks with rising cash flows.
Here are our four picks out of the 16 stocks that qualified the screening:
Marubeni, based in Tokyo, Japan, purchases, distributes and markets various industrial and consumer goods worldwide. It imports, exports and trades within the Japanese market in food, textiles, materials, pulp and paper, chemicals, energy, metals and mineral resources and transportation machinery. It is also engaged in power projects and infrastructure, plants and industrial machinery, real estate development and construction, finance, logistics and information industries.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Marubeni’s earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2023 has moved 35.6% north in the past two months. MARUY currently has a VGM Score of B.
SP Plus provides professional parking, ground transportation, facility maintenance, security and event logistics services to property owners and managers in all markets of the real estate industry.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SP Plus’ 2022 earnings has been revised 2.1% upward to $2.89 per share in the past two months. SP has a VGM Score of B.
