Spire Inc. (SR-N) is a smaller company with an impressive sales growth, but it is not profitable and has negative free cash flows. The company is facing a high debt load and increasing interest expenses, which are expected to delay its path to profitability. Given the small market cap and the negative free cash flow, the experts feel that the risks are tilted against investors' favor, and they would prefer to wait until the company can generate positive free cash flow or reduce its debt load before reconsidering investment.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

SPIR is down 17% year-to-date and 35% on a one-year timeframe. It is a smaller name with a market cap of $133M, and its sales growth has been impressive, and it is expected to grow its sales nicely in the coming years. It is not profitable and does not generate positive free cash flows. It operates at an ~$80M free cash flow loss each year and has a net debt balance of $113.4M. Its interest expenses are ramping up ($25M in the past 12 months), and this will delay the time until it is profitable. With a small market cap, a high debt load, and negative free cash flow, we feel the risks are tilted against an investors' favour, and we would prefer to wait until this name can generate positive free cash flow or reduce its debt load before reconsidering.

TOP PICK
Spire Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our Top Pick of SR is as much a seasonal play as it is about fundamental recovery. This natural gas company provides service to 1.8 million homes in Alabama, Missouri and Mississippi, is the 5th largest publicly traded natural gas company, and is viewed as providing essential services heading into the winter. Recent earnings were up 3% over the year and consensus calls for a 9% increase next year. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $50. Yield 4.54% (Analysts’ price target is $72.89)
