NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- RRSat Global Communications Network (Nasdaq:RRST) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

• Powered by its strong earnings growth of 1500.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 32.14% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Turning to the future, naturally, any stock can fall in a major bear market. However, in almost any other environment, the stock should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed nice gains in the past year.
• The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Media industry. The net income increased by 1457.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$0.18 million to $2.44 million.
• RRST has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.53, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
• Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 158.87% to $5.44 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, RRSAT GLOBAL COMM NTWRK LTD has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 6.39%.
