Analysis:
rates Stamps.com as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in net income, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- STMP's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 20.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 85.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Internet Software & Services industry. The net income increased by 1464.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$0.97 million to $13.24 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 173.52% to $46.77 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, STAMPS.COM INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 19.28%.
- The gross profit margin for STAMPS.COM INC is currently very high, coming in at 83.52%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 16.17% trails the industry average.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.49, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Despite the fact that STMP's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 2.23 is high and demonstrates strong liquidity.
