Operations: The company generates revenue of £151.89 million from its investment management operations.

Market Cap: £159.06M

Liontrust Asset Management, with a market cap of £159.06 million, presents a mixed picture for investors.

However, it has experienced negative earnings growth (-13.2%) over the past year and reduced sales (£69.14 million) compared to the previous period (£87.04 million).

Trifast (LSE:TRI)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Trifast plc, with a market cap of £101.23 million, designs, engineers, manufactures, and supplies industrial fasteners and category C components across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, North America, and Asia.

Operations: The company's revenue from Industrial Fasteners and Category 'C' Components amounts to £215.42 million.

Market Cap: £101.23M

Trifast plc, with a market cap of £101.23 million, offers a nuanced investment case. The company reported half-year sales of £105.85 million, slightly down from the previous year, yet net income rose to £1.46 million. Despite low return on equity (0.9%) and a dividend not fully covered by earnings, Trifast's short-term assets (£155.8M) comfortably exceed both its short-term and long-term liabilities (£40.8M and £68.5M respectively). The firm has become profitable recently but faces challenges such as increased debt levels over five years and significant one-off losses impacting financial results.
