Underperform

Western Asset Global High Income Fund Inc. (EHI) presents a fundamentally weak profile, scoring only 1.8 out of 10. Key concerns include negative returns on total assets (-7.69%) and a significant YoY decline in basic earnings per share (-49.43%). Although some factors like Net income-Revenue show promise, the overall fundamental picture suggests limited upside. Historical back-tests indicate modest monthly returns with varying confidence levels, reinforcing the need for a cautious stance. The fund's asset quality and fixed asset turnover are average, but they do not offset the negative profitability metrics. Investors should be mindful of these structural weaknesses when considering EHI for their portfolio.
