For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – February 11, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are — Suzano S.A. SUZ, Photronics, Inc. PLAB, Mission Produce, Inc. AVO and Euroseas Ltd. ESEA.4 Stocks with Incredible Cash Flows to Bet On This Earnings SeasonThe Q4 earnings season is in full swing, and investors are now interested in betting on stocks based on profit numbers and surprises. Nevertheless, looking beyond profits and figuring out a company’s ability to generate cash flows can be far more rewarding.This is because cash indicates a company’s true financial health. It offers the flexibility to make decisions, the means to make potential investments and the fuel to run its growth engine. Even a company generating profits might face bankruptcy while meeting obligations if it is low on cash flow. However, a sturdy cash balance can cushion companies during any market turbulence. Given the current global economic uncertainty, along with market disruptions and dislocations, this perspective is especially pertinent.In this regard, stocks like Suzano S.A., Photronics, Inc., Mission Produce, Inc. and Euroseas Ltd. are worth buying.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 the 11 stocks that qualified for the screening:Suzano is one of the largest vertically integrated producers of eucalyptus pulp and paper.
