Frequently asked questions
What is Sasol Ltd's revenue?
Sasol Ltd's trailing twelve-month revenue is $272.12B. 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 SSL?
In its most recent fiscal year, SSL ran a gross margin of 30.79%, an operating margin of 20.93%, and a net margin of 4.46%. 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 SSL generate?
SSL produced $11.76B 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 SSL's balance sheet healthy?
SSL holds $42.96B in cash and equivalents against $67.87B in long-term debt, on $161.76B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
