Improving EPS Trends
Recent EPS has shown a positive trend, with reported EPS exceeding estimates in several quarters. For instance, Q2 2025 reported EPS was 0.21, beating the estimate of 0.18, indicating strong operational execution.
Attractive P/E Ratio
The trailing P/E ratio of 13.3 is relatively low, especially when considering the company's historical performance and its industry peers. This suggests the stock might be undervalued.
High Debt Load
The company carries a substantial amount of debt, with total debt at $327.72 billion in Q4 2024. While cash equivalents are high, the significant debt level could pose a risk if interest rates rise or earnings decline.
Slowing Revenue Growth (Quarterly)
While annual revenue showed growth, quarterly revenue figures suggest some deceleration, with Q1 2025 revenue at $16.05 billion compared to $16.48 billion in Q1 2024. This warrants monitoring.
