Goldstone Resources Limited (LON:GRL): Time For A Financial Health Check

On February 15 2018

Does GRL face the risk of succumbing to its debt-load?

With debt at 8.18% of equity, GRL may be thought of as having low leverage. This range is considered safe as GRL is not taking on too much debt obligation, which can be restrictive and risky for equity-holders. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent with GRL, and the company has plenty of headroom and ability to raise debt should it need to in the future.

Next Steps:

GRL’s cash flow coverage indicates it could improve its operating efficiency in order to meet demand for debt repayments should unforeseen events arise. However, the company will be able to pay all of its upcoming liabilities from its current short-term assets. Keep in mind I haven’t considered other factors such as how GRL has been performing in the past.
