An Examination Of Nickel Mines Limited (ASX:NIC)

Attractive stocks have exceptional fundamentals. In the case of Nickel Mines Limited (ASX:NIC), there's is a company with strong financial health as well as a excellent future outlook. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, take a look at the report on Nickel Mines here.

Flawless balance sheet with exceptional growth potential

One reason why investors may be attracted to NIC is its explosive triple-digit earnings growth potential in the near future. The optimistic bottom-line growth is supported by a similarly outstanding revenue growth over the same time period, which indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives. NIC is financially robust, with ample cash on hand and short-term investments to meet upcoming liabilities. This implies that NIC manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Looking at NIC's capital structure, the company has no debt on its balance sheet. This implies that the company is running its operations purely on off equity funding. which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Therefore the company has plenty of headroom to grow, and the ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.
