Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Elixirr International plc operates as a management consultancy firm with subsidiaries offering services in the United Kingdom, the United States, and internationally, and has a market capitalization of £365.71 million.

Operations: Elixirr International generates revenue primarily from its management consulting services, amounting to £97.37 million. The company's net profit margin is a key financial metric to consider when evaluating its profitability.

Elixirr International stands out with its robust financial health, being debt-free for the past five years and showcasing high-quality earnings.

Its earnings growth of 32.8% over the past year significantly outpaced the industry average of 2%, highlighting strong performance in professional services.
