In the case of PEN, it is a company with robust financial health as well as a excellent growth outlook. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects.

High growth potential with excellent balance sheet

Investors in search for stocks with room to flourish should look no further than PEN, with its expected earnings growth of 42%. Earnings growth is paired with an eye-catching top-line trajectory also doubling over the same period, which indicates a high-quality bottom-line expansion, as opposed to those driven by unsustainable cost-cutting activities. PEN’s ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that PEN manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. PEN appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 0.84x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
