The value analysis of Treatt Plc shows that the company is very conservatively run. The financial structure of the company reveals low debt levels on any metric of earnings or company size to debt. Low debt levels are important to owners of the common stock. Low debt levels mean that there is low risk of bankruptcy and most of the returns made by the company will be available to owners of the common stock.
The conservative financial structure creates a margin of safety and the potential for returns for owners of the common stock. The opposite of a margin of safety would be if the company had significant debt levels, which creates risk for owners of the common stock. Value investors prefer to own the debt securities in highly indebted companies. Common stock owners receive protection if their management maintains a conservative approach to corporate financing.
The conservative financial structure allows owners of the common stock to be the significant beneficiaries of the returns created by management. In particular value investors look for a good return on equity to assess the ability of management to create value from the financial assets given to them. Treatt Plc has a very good return on equity number.
