1 Cash-Heavy Stock to Research Further and 2 We Find Risky
Companies with more cash than debt can be financially resilient, but that doesn’t mean they’re all strong investments. Some lack leverage because they struggle to grow or generate consistent profits, making them unattractive borrowers.
Financial flexibility is valuable, but it’s not everything - at StockStory, we help you find the stocks that can not only survive but also outperform. Keeping that in mind, here is one company with a net cash position that balances growth with stability and two best left off your watchlist.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Upwork (UPWK)
Net Cash Position: $239.2 million (21.9% of Market Cap)
Formed through the 2013 merger of Elance and oDesk, Upwork (NASDAQ:UPWK) is an online platform where businesses and independent professionals connect to get work done.
Why Does UPWK Fall Short?
- Lackluster 6.6% annual revenue growth over the last three years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
- Sales are projected to tank by 8.8% over the next 12 months as demand evaporates
At $8.74 per share, Upwork trades at 3.9x forward EV/EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including UPWK in your portfolio.
SolarEdge (SEDG)
Net Cash Position: $139.6 million (7.2% of Market Cap)
Established in 2006, SolarEdge (NASDAQ: SEDG) creates advanced systems to improve the efficiency of solar panels.
Why Should You Sell SEDG?
- Annual sales declines of 3.4% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
- Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value
- Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results
SolarEdge’s stock price of $31.13 implies a valuation ratio of 227.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering SEDG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock to Watch:
Raymond James (RJF)
Net Cash Position: $3.38 billion (11.2% of Market Cap)
Founded in 1962 and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, Raymond James Financial (NYSE:RJF) is a diversified financial services company that provides wealth management, investment banking, asset management, and banking services to individuals and institutions.
Why Could RJF Be a Winner?
- Products and services resonate with customers, evidenced by its respectable 10.8% annualized sales growth over the last two years
- Share repurchases have increased shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 14.1% exceeded its revenue gains over the last five years
- Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures
Raymond James is trading at $157.43 per share, or 11.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
