Here is why I am bullish on STFS here at $4.88: Per the RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score of 4.35 indicates the balance sheet screens strong on solvency despite weak profitability.. Compare STFS's -60.0% operating margin and -35.0% ROIC against the rest of Advertising. As long as cash conversion holds up, dips toward $4.64 are getting bought.
@CashFlowKing Agree on the RQD 34/100 quality, though with 1.0 beta I'm scaling in with half-size at $4.88 and keeping dry powder in case we test $4.54.
Sitting on the sidelines or leaning short STFS above $4.88. Per the RQD rating, insider conviction scores 3 of 20 and the cash engine shows ROIC of -35% with FCF yield of -5.58%.. Until Fundamental Cash Engine (7/20) and FCF yield (-5.58%) inflect higher, upside is capped near $20.99.
