Shenzhen Textile (Holdings) (SZSE:000045)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Shenzhen Textile (Holdings) Co., Ltd. is involved in the research, development, production, and sale of polarizers primarily in China with a market capitalization of CN¥5.21 billion.

Operations: The company's primary revenue stream is derived from the sale of polarizers. It focuses on research and development as well as production activities within this segment.

Shenzhen Textile, a smaller player in the industry, has experienced notable earnings growth of 9.9% over the past year, outpacing the electronic industry's 3%. This growth is complemented by its robust financial health, as it holds more cash than total debt and enjoys a free cash flow positive status. However, its debt to equity ratio has surged from 0.7 to 9.1 over five years, which could be an area of concern for potential investors. Recent discussions at a shareholder meeting suggest an interest in expanding into foreign exchange hedging through subsidiaries, indicating strategic diversification efforts.
