These Factors Make Charles Stanley Group plc (LON:CAY) A Great Investment

I’ve been keeping an eye on Charles Stanley Group plc (LON:CAY) because I’m attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe CAY has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a company with robust financial health as well as a buoyant future outlook. Below, I’ve touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on Charles Stanley Group here.

Flawless balance sheet with reasonable growth potential

CAY’s strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. CAY currently has no debt on its balance sheet. This means it is running its business only on equity capital funding, which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent and the company has plenty of headroom to grow debt in the future, should the need arise.
