A company that generates cash isn’t automatically a winner. Some businesses stockpile cash but fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their ability to expand.
Companies with more cash than debt can be financially resilient, but that doesn’t mean they’re all strong investments. Some lack leverage because they struggle to grow or generate consistent profits, making them unattractive borrowers.
(Reuters) -Leveraged equity exchange-traded funds have seen a surge in inflows this month as some investors seek to position for amplified gains when markets recover from a selloff induced by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade tariffs. According to LSEG Lipper data, leveraged equity funds have received inflows of $10.95 billion so far this month, already surpassing a 5-year high of $9.2 billion recorded last month. Leveraged equity funds are designed to deliver multiples of the daily returns of an underlying index such as S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100.
When Wall Street turns bearish on a stock, it’s worth paying attention. These calls stand out because analysts rarely issue grim ratings on companies for fear their firms will lose out in other business lines such as M&A advisory.
