Cash is king. If you don't believe it, look at Apple (AAPL), with more than $25 billion in cash. On top of that, the company is debt free. Maybe that is why the stock is up over 345% over the last five years.
Many investors look for debt free stocks selling at or near cash per share. These are stocks which have virtually no debt and are trading close to the amount of cash the company has on a per share basis. Without any debt and a lot of cash, it would be hard for a company to go out of business, unless it is a biotech company with a high burn rate. In addition, the cash might make the company a possible takeover candidate.
WallStreetNewsNetwork.com just updated its list of Low Price to Cash per Share Ratio Stocks with No Debt, which shows the recent price, cash per share, forward PE, and price per cash ratio. Almost all the stocks have price to cash ratios less than 4.
