Is CnlightLtd (SZSE:002076) A Risky Investment?

CnlightLtd (SZSE:002076) 是一個風險投資嗎?

Warren Buffett famously said, 'Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.' It's only natural to consider a company's balance sheet when you examine how risky it is, since debt is often involved when a business collapses. Importantly, Cnlight Co.,Ltd (SZSE:002076) does carry debt. But the real question is whether this debt is making the company risky.

禾倫·巴菲特曾說:『波動性遠非與風險同義詞。』在檢查一家公司有多危險時,自然會考慮公司的資產負債表,因爲債務通常與企業的崩潰相關。重要的是,星光股份(SZSE:002076)確實有債務。但真正的問題是,這筆債務是否使公司變得有風險。

When Is Debt A Problem?

何時債務成爲問題?

Debt is a tool to help businesses grow, but if a business is incapable of paying off its lenders, then it exists at their mercy. Ultimately, if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt, shareholders could walk away with nothing. However, a more common (but still painful) scenario is that it has to raise new equity capital at a low price, thus permanently diluting shareholders. Of course, plenty of companies use debt to fund growth, without any negative consequences. The first thing to do when considering how much debt a business uses is to look at its cash and debt together.

債務是幫助企業成長的工具,但如果企業無法償還債務,那麼它就處於貸方的掌控之中。最終,如果公司不能履行償還債務的法律義務,股東可能會一無所有。然而,更常見的(但仍然痛苦的)情況是,它不得不以低價籌集新的股本,從而永久稀釋股東的持股。當然,許多公司利用債務來資助增長,而沒有任何負面後果。考慮企業使用多少債務時,首先要查看現金與債務的組合。

How Healthy Is CnlightLtd's Balance Sheet?

星光股份的資產負債表有多健康?

Zooming in on the latest balance sheet data, we can see that CnlightLtd had liabilities of CN¥187.7m due within 12 months and liabilities of CN¥59.2m due beyond that. On the other hand, it had cash of CN¥86.4m and CN¥51.9m worth of receivables due within a year. So its liabilities outweigh the sum of its cash and (near-term) receivables by CN¥108.6m.

仔細查看最新的資產負債表數據,我們可以看到星光股份在未來12個月內有18770萬人民幣的負債,以及5920萬人民幣的長期負債。另一方面,它有8640萬人民幣的現金和5190萬人民幣的應收賬款(未來一年內到期)。因此,它的負債超過現金和應收賬款之和10860萬人民幣。

Of course, CnlightLtd has a market capitalization of CN¥4.78b, so these liabilities are probably manageable. However, we do think it is worth keeping an eye on its balance sheet strength, as it may change over time. Despite its noteworthy liabilities, CnlightLtd boasts net cash, so it's fair to say it does not have a heavy debt load! When analysing debt levels, the balance sheet is the obvious place to start. But it is CnlightLtd's earnings that will influence how the balance sheet holds up in the future. So when considering debt, it's definitely worth looking at the earnings trend.

當然,星光股份的市值爲47.8億人民幣,因此這些負債可能是可控的。然而,我們確實認爲值得關注其資產負債表的強度,因爲隨着時間的推移可能會發生變化。儘管負債相當顯著,星光股份擁有淨現金,因此可以公平地說它沒有重債負擔!分析債務水平時,資產負債表顯然是首要之地。但星光股份的收益將影響未來資產負債表的表現。因此,在考慮債務時,查看收益趨勢確實是值得的。點擊這裏查看互動快照。

Over 12 months, CnlightLtd reported revenue of CN¥171m, which is a gain of 3.6%, although it did not report any earnings before interest and tax. We usually like to see faster growth from unprofitable companies, but each to their own.

在過去12個月中,星光股份的營業收入爲17100萬人民幣,同比增長3.6%,儘管它沒有報告任何利息和稅前收益。我們通常希望無盈利公司能有更快的增長,但各有各的看法。

So How Risky Is CnlightLtd?

那麼,星光股份有多大風險?

By their very nature companies that are losing money are more risky than those with a long history of profitability. And in the last year CnlightLtd had an earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) loss, truth be told. Indeed, in that time it burnt through CN¥156m of cash and made a loss of CN¥8.1m. With only CN¥26.0m on the balance sheet, it would appear that its going to need to raise capital again soon. Overall, we'd say the stock is a bit risky, and we're usually very cautious until we see positive free cash flow. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the balance sheet. However, not all investment risk resides within the balance sheet - far from it. For example CnlightLtd has 2 warning signs (and 1 which can't be ignored) we think you should know about.

從本質上講,虧損的公司比長期盈利的公司更具風險。在過去一年中,星光股份的利息和稅前收益(EBIT)出現了虧損,實話實說。在此期間,它的現金燒掉了15600萬人民幣,虧損達810萬人民幣。財務報表上僅剩2600萬人民幣,這表明它很快可能需要再次籌集資金。總體而言,我們認爲這隻股票有點風險,我們通常會非常謹慎,直到看到積極的自由現金流。毫無疑問,我們從資產負債表了解的大多數債務風險。然而,並非所有投資風險都存在於資產負債表中——遠非如此。例如,星光股份有2個警告信號(還有1個不可忽視),我們認爲你應該知道。
