Forget the Fed: Bet on These 4 Stocks with Increasing Cash Flows
Investors are keeping a close watch on the Fed in recent times, as it prepares to decide on an interest rate cut. Eyes and ears will also be on indications of the Fed’s future course of action. However, instead of brooding too much on these, investors can benefit from stocks that are cash cows and offer higher returns.
Cash is the lifeblood of any business. It offers strength, vitality and flexibility to make investment decisions, and the fuel to run its growth engine. Moreover, cash shields a company from market turmoil and indicates that profits are being channeled in the right direction.
In this regard, stocks such as Perimeter Solutions, Inc., Interface, Inc., Castle Biosciences, Inc. and Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp. are worth buying.
One must go beyond profit numbers and look at a company’s efficiency in generating cash flows to invest in the right stocks. This is because even a profit-making company can have a dearth of cash flow and fail to meet its obligations. However, a company’s resiliency can be fairly judged when its efficacy in generating cash flows is assessed. This holds more relevance in the current context amid uncertainties in the global economy, market disruptions and dislocations.
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 four out of six stocks that qualified the screening:
Perimeter Solutions is a manufacturer of firefighting products and lubricant additives. PRM’s Fire Safety business includes formulation and manufacturing of fire management products, along with services and pre-treatment solutions for managing wildland, military, industrial and municipal fires.
