One reason why investors are attracted to LUN is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 32%. The optimistic bottom-line growth is supported by an outstanding revenue growth of 65% over the same time period, which indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives. LUN'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 LUN has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. LUN appears to have made good use of debt, producing operating cash levels of 12.91x total debt in the prior year. This is a strong indication that debt is reasonably met with cash generated.
