YELP 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 understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, take a look at the report on Yelp here.
Flawless balance sheet with reasonable growth potential
Investors in search for stocks with room to flourish should look no further than YELP, with its expected earinngs growth of 21%, bolstered by its impressive cash-generating ability, as analysts predict its operating cash flows will rise by 71% over the same time period. This is a sustainable driver of high-quality earnings, as opposed to pure cost-cutting activities. YELP's ability to maintain an adequate level of cash to meet upcoming liabilities is a good sign for its financial health. This implies that YELP manages its cash and cost levels well, which is an important determinant of the company’s health. YELP currently has no debt on its balance sheet. This means it is running its business only on equity capital funding, which is rather impressive for a US$2.9b market cap company. Therefore the company has plenty of headroom to grow, and the ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.
