Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - HNASX passes 6 of the nine Piotroski tests, which passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.6 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 0.1%, ROE 0.2%, ROA 0.1% - with debt at 1.09 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.5%.
The dividend yield is high at 13.98% (payout ratio 5150%) - a payout above 100% of earnings, which is not covered by profits. A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 0.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.6 / 10 | ROE | 0.2% |
| Debt / equity | 1.09 | ROA | 0.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 10.5% | Payout ratio | 5150% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
