Why 58com Inc (NYSE:WUBA) Is An Attractive Investment To Consider

I’ve been keeping an eye on 58com Inc (NYSE:WUBA) because I’m attracted to its fundamentals. Looking at the company as a whole, as a potential stock investment, I believe WUBA has a lot to offer. Basically, it is a company with robust financial health as well as an optimistic future outlook. Below, I’ve touched on some key aspects you should know on a high level. If you’re interested in understanding beyond my high-level commentary, read the full report on 58.com here.

Excellent balance sheet with reasonable growth potential

WUBA’s outstanding revenue growth of 51% forecasted for the near future is certainly eye-catching for investors on the hunt for growth, supported by its outstanding capacity to churn out cash from operating activities, which is predicted to ramp up by 63% next year. This indicates that revenue is driven by high-quality cash from WUBA’s day-to-day business as opposed to one-off income. WUBA’s strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This indicates that WUBA has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. WUBA appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 3.27x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
