If you’re interested in understanding beyond my broad commentary, read the full report on AAON here.
Flawless balance sheet with reasonable growth potential
AAON’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 AAON has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. Investors should not worry about AAON’s debt levels because the company has none! This implies that the company is running its operations purely on off equity funding. which is rather impressive for a US$2.4b market cap company. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent and the company has plenty of headroom to grow debt in the future, should the need arise.
