Al Hassan Ghazi Ibrahim Shaker (SASE:1214)
Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Al Hassan Ghazi Ibrahim Shaker Company operates in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, focusing on the trading, wholesale, and maintenance of spare parts, electronic equipment, household equipment, and air-conditioners with a market capitalization of SAR1.72 billion.
Operations: The company's primary revenue streams are derived from Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Solutions (HVAC), generating SAR984.79 million, and Home Appliances, contributing SAR388.45 million.
Shaker, a notable player in the Trade Distributors sector, has shown impressive growth with earnings up by 31.5% over the past year, outpacing the industry average of -10.8%. Its net debt to equity ratio stands at a satisfactory 30.8%, reflecting prudent financial management as it reduced from 63% to 43.8% over five years. However, interest payments on its debt are not well covered by EBIT at just 2.4x coverage, indicating potential challenges in meeting obligations without additional income growth or cost reduction strategies. With earnings forecasted to grow annually by nearly 20%, Shaker seems poised for continued expansion despite these hurdles.
Burkhalter Holding (SWX:BRKN)
Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Burkhalter Holding AG operates through its subsidiaries to offer electrical engineering services to the construction industry, primarily in Switzerland, with a market cap of CHF1.09 billion.
Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from electrical engineering services, amounting to CHF1.18 billion.
Earnings for Burkhalter Holding have grown at an impressive 26% annually over the past five years, showcasing its potential despite a high net debt to equity ratio of 52.9%. The company's interest payments are comfortably covered by EBIT, with a coverage ratio of 46 times, indicating strong financial health in this regard. Although its earnings growth of 10.3% last year was slightly below the construction industry average of 11.7%, Burkhalter remains profitable with positive free cash flow and a price-to-earnings ratio of 20x, which is attractive compared to the Swiss market's average.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its Computer Peripherals and Electronic Components segment, amounting to NT$235.52 billion.
Supreme Electronics, a nimble player in the electronics sector, has shown impressive earnings growth of 70.7% over the past year, outpacing the industry average of 7.8%. Despite this growth, its net debt to equity ratio remains high at 157.6%, though it has improved from 204.1% five years ago. The company's interest payments are well covered with an EBIT coverage of three times, indicating sound financial management in that regard. Trading just below its estimated fair value by 0.2%, Supreme seems positioned for potential value appreciation despite challenges with free cash flow and operating cash flow coverage for debt obligations.
