Flawless balance sheet with high growth potential

DBV is an attractive stock for growth-seeking investors, with an expected earnings growth of 33% in the upcoming year. The optimistic bottom-line growth is supported by a similarly outstanding revenue growth over the same time period, which indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives. DBV'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 DBV has sufficient cash flows and proper cash management in place, which is a key determinant of the company’s health. With a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.8%, DBV’s debt level is relatively low. DBV has plenty of financial flexibility, without large debt obligations to meet in the short term, as well as the headroom to raise debt should it need to in the future.
