Overview: 4Mass Spólka Akcyjna is involved in the manufacture and distribution of make-up products, with a market cap of PLN103.25 million.
Operations: The company has not reported any revenue segments.
Market Cap: PLN103.25M
4MASS Spólka Akcyjna, with a market cap of PLN103.25 million, has shown stable revenue growth, reporting PLN 27.87 million for Q1 2025 and PLN 124.02 million for the full year 2024. Despite a decline in net income to PLN 2.3 million from last year's figures, the company maintains strong financial health with short-term assets exceeding both long-term and short-term liabilities significantly and more cash than total debt. Its debt is well covered by operating cash flow (315.8%), while interest payments are comfortably managed by EBIT (29.3x). However, negative earnings growth (-13.1%) over the past year presents challenges despite high-quality past earnings and a favorable price-to-earnings ratio (6.6x) compared to the Polish market average.
