boohoo group plc (LON:BOO): The Best Of Both Worlds

Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I've chosen to put the spotlight on boohoo group plc (LON:BOO) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. BOO is a company with impressive financial health as well as a excellent future outlook. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, read the full report on boohoo group here.

Flawless balance sheet with high growth potential

One reason why investors are attracted to BOO is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 28%. Earnings growth is paired with an eye-catching top-line trajectory of 74%, which indicates a high-quality bottom-line expansion, as opposed to those driven simple by unsustainable cost-cutting activities. BOO is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. BOO's has produced operating cash levels of 10.84x total debt over the past year, which implies that BOO's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.
