Commenting on the stock, simplywall.st mentioned, "We can see from the most recent balance sheet that Beardsell had liabilities of Rs. 669.9m falling due within a year, and liabilities of Rs. 99.9m due beyond that. Offsetting this, it had Rs. 25.5m in cash and Rs. 355.5m in receivables that were due within 12 months. So its liabilities total Rs. 388.8m more than the combination of its cash and short-term receivables. Over the last 3 years, Beardsell actually produced more free cash flow than EBIT. There's nothing better than incoming cash when it comes to staying in lenders' good graces. We think Beardsell is in a good position to manage its debt levels. But, we think debt levels are high enough to justify ongoing monitoring."
