Bruker Passes Basic Financial Quality Checks
 
Revenue growth, profitability, cash flow, and balance sheet strength need to be evaluated to reduce the risk of a dip being the sign of a deteriorating business situation.

Quality Metrics Value Quality Check
Revenue Growth (LTM) 14.8% Pass
Revenue Growth (3-Yr Avg) 12.0% Pass
Operating Cash Flow Margin (LTM) 8.5% Pass
Leverage (see below) Pass
=> Interest Coverage Ratio 3.9  
=> Cash To Interest Expense Ratio 3.3  

 
Dip buying, while attractive, needs to be evaluated carefully from multiple angles. Such multi-factor analysis is exactly how we construct Trefis portfolio strategies. If you want upside with a smoother ride than an individual stock, consider the High Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P, and clocked >91% returns since inception.
