Why Sanne Group plc (LON:SNN) Could Have A Place In Your Portfolio

I've been keeping an eye on Sanne Group plc (LON:SNN) because I'm attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe SNN has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a company with impressive financial health as well as a buoyant future outlook. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in digging a bit deeper into my commentary, take a look at the report on Sanne Group here.

High growth potential with adequate balance sheet

Investors in search for stocks with room to flourish should look no further than SNN, with its expected earnings growth of 24% underlying the notable 23% return on equity over the next few years leading up to 2022. SNN'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. SNN seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 0.32x 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.
