Naturenergie Holding, a small player in the Swiss energy sector, has shown impressive earnings growth of 40.5% over the past year, outpacing the Electric Utilities industry’s -3.6%. With no debt on its books for five years and a P/E ratio of 11.5x compared to the Swiss market’s 21.3x, it seems undervalued. The recent half-year results highlighted sales at €868.6 million and net income at €77.2 million, up from €68.5 million last year, reflecting robust profitability despite lower sales figures compared to €972.5 million previously reported.
SWX:NEAG Debt to Equity as at Oct 2024
Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: V-ZUG Holding AG is involved in the development, manufacture, marketing, sale, and servicing of kitchen and laundry appliances for private households both within Switzerland and internationally, with a market capitalization of CHF353.57 million.
Operations: V-ZUG generates revenue primarily from its Household Appliances segment, amounting to CHF571.35 million.
With a strong foothold in the Swiss market, V-ZUG has showcased impressive earnings growth of 89.2% over the past year, outpacing its Consumer Durables peers who saw a -2.7% shift. This debt-free company appears to offer high-quality earnings and trades at 82.1% below estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation. Despite not being free cash flow positive recently, V-ZUG’s lack of debt compared to five years ago when it had a 22.4% debt-to-equity ratio highlights financial prudence and positions it well for future growth prospects forecasted at 38.68% annually in an industry context that seems challenging for others.
