Outperform
NWN's fundamentals are rated Outperform with an excellent score of 9.6/10. Key strengths include a healthy operating cycle (138 days, group 2) and low inventory turnover days (110 days, group 3). However, elevated leverage (Non-current liabilities / Total liabilities 83.19%, group 4) and a high equity multiplier (3.93, group 4) signal potential balance-sheet risks. Cash-UP is also negative (-0.0537, group 1), hinting at cash-flow pressure. Overall, the company's asset-light model and operating efficiency offset leverage concerns, but investors should monitor debt levels and inventory management.
