Flawless balance sheet with solid track record

DME has a strong track record of performance. In the previous year, DME delivered an impressive double-digit return of 23% Not surprisingly, DME outperformed its industry which returned 23%, giving us more conviction of the company's capacity to drive bottom-line growth going forward.

This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. DME currently has no debt on its balance sheet. It has only utilized funding from its equity capital to run the business, which is typically normal for a small-cap company.

Compared to the rest of the interactive media and services industry, DME is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated.
