Debt Free Stocks Selling At or Near Cash

If a stock is trading at the amount of cash it has, it is a pretty good buy. And if the company is debt free, it would seem that there is almost no downside. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com came up with over a dozen stocks that are trading at or near cash, as measured by the Price to Cash Ratio, all with market caps over $500 million, and all without any debt.

For example, optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (OXPS) has no dept, trades for around 11.50 per share, and has $9 per share in cash. Not only that, they have a forward yield of 7.5 and pay a yield of 2.5%.

Another example is KBR, Inc. (KBR), another no debt company, which trades for 9.86 per share with 6.87 in cash per share. The have a forward PE of 5.5 and pay a yield of 1.7%.

It's nice to find debt free companies with very reasonable ratios. The rest of the debt free stocks selling at or near cash can be four at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.
