Buy 4 Stocks with Rising Cash Flows to Enrich Your Portfolio
We are already into the second-quarter reporting cycle, and stocks with top-line growth and increasing profit numbers might be popular choices. But choosing stocks based on a company's efficiency in generating cash flows can be far more rewarding.
In this regard, stocks like Dycom Industries, Inc., Cimpress plc., The Marcus Corp. and Flexsteel Industries, Inc. are worth buying.
This is because even a profit-making company can have a dearth of cash flow and become bankrupt while meeting its obligations if its profits are not channelized in the right direction. But a company can effectively weather any market mayhem if it has a solid cash position, as that lends a company the flexibility to make decisions, the means to invest and the fuel to run its growth engine. It is indeed the key to a company's existence, development and success, and reveals its true financial health.
Furthermore, analyzing a company's cash-generating efficiency holds more relevance amid uncertainties in the global economy, market disruptions and dislocations, as well as liquidity concerns.
To figure out this efficiency, one needs to consider a company's net cash flow. While in any business, cash moves in and out, it is net cash flow that explains how much money a company is actually generating.
If a company is experiencing a positive cash flow, it denotes an increase in its liquid assets, which gives it the means to meet debt obligations, shell out for expenses, reinvest in the business, endure downturns and finally return wealth to shareholders. On the other hand, a negative cash flow indicates a decline in the company's liquidity, which, in turn, lowers its flexibility to support these moves.
However, having a positive cash flow merely does not secure a company's future growth. To ride on the growth curve, a company must have its cash flow increasing because that indicates management's efficiency in regulating its cash movements and less dependency on outside financing for running its business.
Therefore, keep yourself abreast with the following screen to bet on stocks with rising cash flows.
Here are four out of the seven stocks that qualified the screening:
