Financials

From a financial aspect Somero is good. Total market cap is £230M with a forecast for 2021 turnover to be $128m, with a profit after tax of $18.2m. Looking at the balance sheet total cash on hand was $32.3m with total assets amounting to $84.6m. Total liabilities amounted to $20.08m, leaving Somero net positive of $64.57m. This gives the company a L/A ratio of 23.7%.

Technicals

From a technical aspect Somero also looks okay. While the current trend is negative (Like most stocks at the moment) trendline support below still holds at £3.95. This is the first support, a break of this trendline could see the stock head towards £3.45 and then £2.89. While these are some big drops, the financials help back up a strong share. Looking to the upside, targets are £4.50, followed by £4,90 and then £5.50 followed by £6 and the trendline resistance at  £6.50.

Summary

Somero does have its risks. Firstly it is a micro-size business in regards to market cap, (£230m), therefore it is borderline a penny stock, but not quite. Volume is quite low on this share so moves up and down can be quite intense. However, despite there being risks, the main positive aspect about Somero is that it is profitable, it has a good cash pile and strong revenues.
