What's working
- Debt / equity: Light borrowing means a rough patch wouldn't threaten the balance sheet.
- Current ratio: What's on hand comfortably covers the bills due over the next year.
What to watch
- Debt exceeds cash by $103.5M, increasing balance-sheet pressure, a warning sign.
- Forward P/E: The price already assumes strong earnings growth that still has to show up.
