Net Cash Fortress Stock Screen — Italy

A fortress balance sheet: more cash than debt, positive free cash flow and enough short-term assets to cover short-term bills one and a half times over. Companies like these can fund themselves through a downturn without asking banks or shareholders for money. The screen also asks for a return on equity of at least 8%.

The rules of this screen

A stock listed in Italy appears below only if it passes every rule:

  • Return on equity (ROE) of at least 8%
  • Net cash: more cash than total debt, with positive free cash flow
  • Current ratio of at least 1.5 (short-term assets cover short-term liabilities 1.5 times)
  • Market cap of at least €50 million

Data comes from company filings and market prices, refreshed after every trading day. Stocks with a missing value for any rule are left out.

How to use this screen

Cash can sit in a country it cannot easily leave, or belong to customers (deposits, prepayments). A big cash pile also lowers returns if management never uses it. Check where the cash is and what the company plans to do with it.

This page lists the stocks that pass a set of rules. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of them, and past results of a strategy say nothing certain about future returns.
