Irish Continental Group (LSE:ICGC)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Irish Continental Group plc is a maritime transport company with a market cap of £760.36 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is derived from two main segments: Ferries, which generated €430.10 million, and Container and Terminal operations, contributing €195.80 million.

Market Cap: £760.36M

Irish Continental Group plc, with a market cap of £760.36 million, recently reported half-year sales of €285.5 million and net income of €13.7 million, showing modest year-on-year growth. The company benefits from high-quality earnings and a robust Return on Equity at 22.3%. Its debt is well covered by operating cash flow, and interest payments are comfortably managed with EBIT coverage at 10 times the interest expense. However, short-term assets fall short of covering both short-term and long-term liabilities, indicating potential liquidity concerns despite its satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 35.2%.

Mollyroe (OFEX:MOY)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Mollyroe Plc is involved in investing in commercial and residential properties, with a market cap of £251,721.

Operations: Mollyroe Plc has not reported any specific revenue segments.

Market Cap: £251.72k

Mollyroe Plc, with a market cap of £251,721, is currently pre-revenue and unprofitable but has managed to reduce its losses by 17.4% annually over the past five years. The company operates without debt, alleviating concerns about interest payments or long-term liabilities. Mollyroe's short-term assets (£343.1K) comfortably cover its short-term liabilities (£42.9K), suggesting a stable liquidity position despite shareholder dilution in the past year with shares outstanding increasing by 2.2%. However, high weekly volatility and an unstable share price remain significant risks for investors considering this stock in their portfolio.
