-0.43 | -1.32%
CAVIUM INC's gross profit margin for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2013 has increased when compared to the same period a year ago. The company grew its sales and net income significantly quarter versus same quarter a year prior, and was able to outpace the average competitor in the industry when comparing revenue growth, but not when comparing net income growth. CAVIUM INC is extremely liquid. Currently, the Quick Ratio is 2.82 which clearly shows the ability to cover any short-term cash needs. CAVM managed to increase the liquidity from the same period a year ago, despite already having very strong liquidity to begin with. This would indicate improved cash flow.
During the same period, stockholders' equity ("net worth") has decreased by 16.71% from the same quarter last year. Overall, the key liquidity measurements indicate that the company is very unlikely to face financial difficulties in the near future.

HOLD. This stock?s P/E ratio is negative, making its value useless in the assessment of premium or discount valuation, only displaying that the company has negative earnings per share. For additional comparison, its price-to-book ratio of 7.13 indicates a significant premium versus the S&P 500 average of 2.44 and a significant premium versus the industry average of 3.22. The price-to-sales ratio is well above both the S&P 500 average and the industry average, indicating a premium. Upon assessment of these and other key valuation criteria, CAVIUM INC seems to be trading at a premium to investment alternatives within the industry.
