Detailed Analysis

Guru Score: 0%

Determine the Classification:

TSTC is considered a "Stalwart", according to this methodology, for its earnings growth of 19.03%. This is based on Based on the average of the 3, 4 and 5 year historical EPS growth rates, which lies within a moderate 10%-19% range. This methodology looks for the "Stalwart" securities to gain 30%-50% in value over a two year period if they can be purchased at an attractive price based on the P/E to Growth ratio. However, TSTC is not considered a "True Stalwart" for its sales of $93 million are less than the multi-billion dollar level.


Inventory To Sales: [PASS]

When inventories increase faster than sales, it is a red flag. However an increase of up to 5% is considered bearable if all other ratios appear attractive. Inventory to sales for TSTC was 2.37% last year, while for this year it is 6.2%. Since inventory has been rising, this methodology would not look favorably at the stock but would not completely eliminate it from consideration as the inventory increase (3.83%) is below 5%.


Yield adjusted P/E to Growth (PEG) ratio: [FAIL]

The Yield-adjusted P/E/G ratio for TSTC is not available at the current time which means an opinion cannot be rendered at the present time. This criteria is the most important one in the methodology and a failure of it will automatically result in a 0% score for the overall analysis.


EARNINGS PER SHARE: [FAIL]

The EPS for a stalwart company must be positive. TSTC's EPS ($-.7) would not satisfy this criterion.


Total Debt/Equity Ratio: [PASS]

This methodology would consider the Debt/Equity ratio for TSTC (9.01%) to be exceptionally low (equity is at least ten times debt). This ratio is one quick way to determine the financial strength of the company.


FREE CASH FLOW: The Free Cash Flow/Price ratio, though not a requirement, is considered a bonus if it above 35%. A positive Cash Flow (the higher the better) separates a wonderfully reliable investment from a shaky one. This methodology prefers not to invest in companies that rely heavily on capital spending. This ratio for TSTC (102.38%) is high enough to add to the attractiveness of the stock.


NET CASH POSITION: Another bonus for a company is having a Net Cash/Price ratio above 30%. Lynch defines net cash as cash and marketable securities minus long term debt. According to this methodology, a high value for this ratio dramatically cuts down on the risk of the security. The Net Cash/Price ratio for TSTC (160.3%) is considered very favorable.
