    QEP Co Inc has a current ratio of 2.87, indicating a strong ability to meet short-term obligations with its current assets. The company's liquidity position is assessed as medium, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01, suggesting a low reliance on debt financing. However, the company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt, which introduces some liquidity risk.

    In terms of profitability, QEP Co Inc reported a net income of -$1.45 million, indicating a loss for the period. The return on equity (ROE) is -2.0%, and the return on assets (ROA) is -1.15%, both of which are below the typical performance metrics for the Construction Supplies & Fixtures industry. The company's operating income of $3.31 million is a positive sign, but it is not sufficient to offset the net loss.

The operating cash flow of $29.48 million and free cash flow of $2.34 million suggest some cash generation capability, but the capital expenditure of -$3.81 million indicates a reduction in investment. The company's future growth will depend on its ability to improve profitability and manage its capital structure effectively.

    The risk assessment for QEP Co Inc highlights a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt, which could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations. However, the dilution risk is low, as the number of shares outstanding has not changed significantly. The company has not made any recent adjustments to its valuation metrics, suggesting a stable capital structure.

    There are no recent events or filings disclosed in the available data that would significantly impact the company's operations or financial position. The company's financial statements do not mention any major legal proceedings, regulatory actions, or significant business developments.
