Frequently asked questions
What is Meta Financial Group Inc's revenue?
Meta Financial Group Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $777.18M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is CASH?
In its most recent fiscal year, CASH ran a gross margin of 90.02%, an operating margin of 32.55%, and a net margin of 27.13%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does CASH generate?
CASH produced $236.59M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is CASH's balance sheet healthy?
CASH holds $120.57M in cash and equivalents against $33.46M in long-term debt, on $858.04M of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
