Brief Commentary On Faurecia SA.’s (EPA:EO) Fundamentals

Faurecia SA. (ENXTPA:EO) is a stock with outstanding fundamental characteristics. When we build an investment case, we need to look at the stock with a holistic perspective. In the case of EO, it is a company with great financial health as well as a a strong history of performance. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on Faurecia here.

Solid track record with adequate balance sheet

Over the past year, EO has grown its earnings by 37.40%, with its most recent figure exceeding its annual average over the past five years. The strong earnings growth is reflected in impressive double-digit 20.37% return to shareholders, which is an notable feat for the company. EO seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 0.8x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows. Debt funding requires timely payments on interest to lenders. EO’s earnings sufficiently covered its interest in the prior year, which indicates there’s low risk associated with the company not being able to meet these key expenses.
