Singapore Strategy Snippet – Top 20 net cash to market cap companies March 16, 2020 2430

  • With the market in a tailspin, we will periodically screen companies that enjoy some of the strongest balance sheets in comparison to their market cap.
  • Our screening criteria for the Top 20 net cash to market capitalisation companies are: i)company has to be above S$100mn in market capitalization ii)excludes financial companies (a large part of their cash holdings are customer deposits).
  • Some of the stocks generated in our screen are under our coverage – Penguin International and PropNex. We have a BUY recommendation on both companies.
  • The screen not only shows the healthy balance-sheet of the company, but it can also reflect how cheap the valuations of the company especially when we strip out the cash.
