WLDN.Solid Cash-Flow Growth Makes These 4 Stocks Worth Buying NowPicking profit-making stocks for investment might be a popular choice but not flawless. This is because even a profit-making company can have a deficiency of cash flow and become bankrupt while meeting its obligations. However, one can effectively judge a company's resilience by looking at its efficiency in generating cash flows.In this regard, stocks like Sterling Infrastructure, Inc., Griffon Corp., Limbach Holdings, Inc. and Willdan Group, Inc. are worth buying.Cash, which is indeed the lifeblood of any business, gives a company the flexibility to take investment decisions and the fuel to run its growth engine. Moreover, cash shields a company from market turmoil and indicates that profits are being channelized in the right direction, indicating a company's true financial health.Uncertainties in the global economy, market disruptions and dislocations, as well as liquidity concerns resulting from geopolitical tensions or the pandemic, have all the more reestablished the relevance of analyzing a company's cash-generating efficiency.To figure out this efficiency, one needs to consider a company's net cash flow. While in any business, cash moves in and out, it is net cash flow that explains how much money a company is actually generating.If a company is experiencing a positive cash flow, it denotes an increase in its liquid assets, which gives it the means to meet debt obligations, shell out for expenses, reinvest in the business, endure downturns and finally return wealth to shareholders. On the other hand, a negative cash flow indicates a decline in the company's liquidity, which in turn lowers its flexibility to support these moves.However, having a positive cash flow merely does not secure a company's future growth. To ride on the growth curve, a company must have its cash flow increasing because that indicates management's efficiency in regulating its cash movements and less dependency on outside financing for running its business.Therefore, keep yourself abreast with the following screen to bet on stocks with rising cash flows.Here are four out of 12 stocks that qualified for the screening:Sterling operates through subsidiaries within segments specializing in E-Infrastructure, Building and Transportation Solutions principally in the United States, mainly across the Southern, Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Rocky Mountain regions and the Pacific Islands.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sterling's current-year earnings has moved 13.6% north in the past month.
