Companies with more cash than debt can be financially resilient, but that doesn’t mean they’re all strong investments. Some lack leverage because they struggle to grow or generate consistent profits, making them unattractive borrowers.

Just because a business has cash doesn’t mean it’s a good investment. Luckily, StockStory is here to help you separate the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are two companies with net cash positions that can continue growing sustainably and one with hidden risks.

One Stock to Sell:

Enphase (ENPH)

Net Cash Position: $327.5 million (7.1% of Market Cap)

The first company to successfully commercialize the solar micro-inverter, Enphase (NASDAQ: ENPH) manufactures software-driven home energy products.

Why Does ENPH Worry Us?

1. Declining unit sales over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its strategy
2. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 12 percentage points
3. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term

Enphase’s stock price of $35.50 implies a valuation ratio of 14.2x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ENPH.

Two Stocks to Buy:

DoorDash (DASH)

Net Cash Position: $5.29 billion (5% of Market Cap)

Founded by Stanford students with the intent to build “the local, on-demand FedEx", DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) operates an on-demand food delivery platform.

Why Will DASH Beat the Market?

1. Orders have grown by 21% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
2. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 105% outpaced its revenue gains
3. Free cash flow margin expanded by 11.3 percentage points over the last few years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends

DoorDash is trading at $250.47 per share, or 37.5x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
