Is Nel ASA (OB:NEL) A Financially Sound Company?

Simply Wall St.

Investors are always looking for growth in small-cap stocks like Nel ASA (OB:NEL), with a market cap of ØRE2.98B. However, an important fact which most ignore is: how financially healthy is the business? Since NEL is loss-making right now, it’s vital to evaluate the current state of its operations and pathway to profitability. Here are few basic financial health checks you should consider before taking the plunge. Nevertheless, this commentary is still very high-level, so I recommend you dig deeper yourself into NEL here.

Does NEL generate enough cash through operations?

NEL’s debt levels surged from ØRE14.07M to ØRE34.12M over the last 12 months , which comprises of short- and long-term debt. With this increase in debt, NEL’s cash and short-term investments stands at ØRE295.00M for investing into the business. Moving onto cash from operations, its trivial cash flows from operations make the cash-to-debt ratio less useful to us, though these low levels of cash means that operational efficiency is worth a look. For this article’s sake, I won’t be looking at this today, but you can examine some of NEL’s operating efficiency ratios such as ROA here.

Can NEL meet its short-term obligations with the cash in hand?

With current liabilities at ØRE213.87M, the company has been able to meet these commitments with a current assets level of ØRE584.28M, leading to a 2.73x current account ratio. Usually, for Construction companies, this is a suitable ratio since there is a bit of a cash buffer without leaving too much capital in a low-return environment.

Is NEL’s debt level acceptable?

With a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.42%, NEL’s debt level is relatively low. This range is considered safe as NEL is not taking on too much debt obligation, which can be restrictive and risky for equity-holders. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent with NEL, and the company has plenty of headroom and ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.

Next Steps:

NEL’s low debt is also met with low coverage. This indicates room for improvement as its cash flow covers less than a quarter of its borrowings, which means its operating efficiency could be better. However, the company exhibits an ability to meet its near term obligations should an adverse event occur. I admit this is a fairly basic analysis for NEL’s financial health. Other important fundamentals need to be considered alongside. You should continue to research Nel to get a better picture of the stock by looking at:
