Invetso Score: 6.1/10 — Balanced · Last Updated: 2026-09-01

Monthly Update

No material changes this month.

Risks

Score: 5.8 (Moderate)

Net debt to EBITDA of 2.2x and interest coverage of 6.2x leave SFWL less balance-sheet flexibility than peers with lower leverage, limiting room to absorb demand softness.

Current ratio of 1.27x is adequate but not robust, so working-capital shocks could constrain execution more than in peers with stronger liquidity buffers.

Days sales outstanding of 99 days suggests slower cash collection, which can pressure operating cash flow and leave SFWL more exposed than peers with tighter receivables management.

A 36-day cash conversion cycle is manageable, but it is less efficient than peers with faster conversion, reducing resilience if margins or volumes weaken.

Opportunities

Score:

Interest coverage above 6x gives SFWL more financing headroom than highly levered peers, supporting continuity if end-market demand remains uneven.

A current ratio above 1.0x indicates near-term liquidity is sufficient, which can help SFWL compete better than peers facing tighter short-term funding conditions.

Net debt to EBITDA near 2.2x is moderate rather than stretched, leaving SFWL better positioned than more levered peers to fund growth if operating conditions improve.

Overall Score

Score:

SFWL’s positioning is balanced, with moderate leverage and acceptable liquidity supporting resilience, but slower receivables collection and only average working-capital efficiency keep peer-relative risk elevated.
