New Zealand King Salmon Investments (NZSE:NZK)

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

Overview: New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited, with a market cap of NZ$131.85 million, is involved in the farming, processing, and sale of salmon products across New Zealand and various international markets including North America, Australia, Japan, and Europe.

Operations: The company's revenue primarily comes from its food processing segment, which generated NZ$197.26 million.

Market Cap: NZ$131.85M

New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited, with a market cap of NZ$131.85 million, has seen its revenue rise to NZ$101.72 million for the half year ended July 31, 2024. However, net income declined to NZ$6.01 million from the previous year’s NZ$10.63 million due to shrinking profit margins and negative earnings growth over the past year. Despite this, the company maintains a strong financial position with short-term assets exceeding liabilities and more cash than total debt. Trading well below estimated fair value suggests potential upside but is tempered by high volatility and an inexperienced management team averaging 1.3 years in tenure.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from Europe (€360.5 million), followed by North America (€281 million), Asia (€125 million), and South America (€43.3 million).

Market Cap: NOK1.33B

Kongsberg Automotive ASA, with a market cap of NOK1.33 billion, remains unprofitable but maintains a satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 25.2% and sufficient cash runway for over three years due to positive free cash flow. Recent challenges include declining sales from EUR 220.6 million to EUR 181.6 million in Q3 2024 and a net loss of EUR 8.3 million compared to the previous year's profit, prompting revised revenue guidance for the year between EUR 760-790 million. However, securing significant contracts valued at over EUR 35 million offers potential future revenue streams amidst high share price volatility and an inexperienced board averaging just over a year in tenure.
