What's working
- Forward P/E: Investors aren't pricing in much earnings growth, so there's room to be pleasantly surprised.
- Debt / equity: Light borrowing means a rough patch wouldn't threaten the balance sheet.
What to watch
- Debt exceeds cash by $1.8B, increasing balance-sheet pressure, a warning sign.
- EV / EBITDA: The price leans on operating earnings that haven't materialized.
