TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Finisar as a buy. The company’s strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results. Highlights from the ratings report include: FINISAR CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, FINISAR CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.32 versus $0.12 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.26 versus $0.32). The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Communications Equipment industry. The net income increased by 78.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $7.33 million to $13.07 million. FNSR’s debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.20 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.67, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs. Net operating cash flow has increased to $54.60 million or 39.63% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -3.30%. 35.73% is the gross profit margin for FINISAR CORP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, FNSR’s net profit margin of 4.10% significantly trails the industry average.
