Pendragon PLC (LSEDG) is a small-cap stock with a market capitalization of £447.02M. While investors primarily focus on the growth potential and competitive landscape of the small-cap companies, they end up ignoring a key aspect, which could be the biggest threat to its existence: its financial health. Why is it important? A major downturn in the energy industry has resulted in over 150 companies going bankrupt and has put more than 100 on the verge of a collapse, primarily due to excessive debt. Thus, it becomes utmost important for an investor to test a company’s resilience for such contingencies. In simple terms, I believe these three small calculations tell most of the story you need to know.

Roku Inc (NASDAQ:ROKU) is a small-cap stock with a market capitalization of USD $0.00. While investors primarily focus on the growth potential and competitive landscape of the small-cap companies, they end up ignoring a key aspect, which could be the biggest threat to its existence: its financial health. The significance of doing due diligence on a company’s financial strength stems from the fact that over 20,000 companies go bankrupt in every quarter in the US alone. Here are few basic financial health checks to judge whether a company fits the bill or there is an additional risk which you should consider before taking the plunge.

I am going to take a deep dive into iBuyNew Group Limited’s (ASX:IBN) most recent ownership structure, not a frequent subject of discussion among individual investors. A company’s ownership structure is often linked to its share performance in both the long- and short-term. The same amount of capital coming from an activist institution and a passive mutual fund has different implications on corporate governance, which is a decisive factor for a long-term investor. It also impacts the trading environment of company shares, which is more of a concern for short-term investors. Therefore, it is beneficial for us to examine IBN’s ownership structure in more detail.

I am going to take a deep dive into Alba Mineral Resources PLC’s (AIM:ALBA) most recent ownership structure, not a frequent subject of discussion among individual investors. The impact of a company’s ownership structure affects both its short- and long-term performance. The same amount of capital coming from an activist institution and a passive mutual fund has different implications on corporate governance, which is a decisive factor for a long-term investor. It also impacts the trading environment of company shares, which is more of a concern for short-term investors. Therefore, it is beneficial for us to examine ALBA’s ownership structure in more detail.

I am going to take a deep dive into Portola Pharmaceuticals Inc’s (NASDAQTLA) most recent ownership structure, not a frequent subject of discussion among individual investors. Ownership structure has been found to have an impact on shareholder returns in both short- and long-term. The same amount of capital coming from an activist institution and a passive mutual fund has different implications on corporate governance, which is a decisive factor for a long-term investor. It also impacts the trading environment of company shares, which is more of a concern for short-term investors. Now I will analyze PTLA’s shareholder registry in more detail.


I think that if racy Lacy (or should that be Wade, Cam, Phil, Pete or Jon?) submitted her assignments using Turnitin, “she” would have some major explaining to do.

Seriously, the internet is awash with rubbishy, computer- generated “investor advice” sites like this one. Their self-description gives a bit of a clue….
