Synthesis
VRTS.K operates as a financial services entity within the Capital Markets industry, generating revenue through investment management or related financial activities.
VRTS.K maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.42, indicating moderate leverage relative to its equity base of $934.0 million. The company holds $389.96 million in long-term debt against total assets of $4.29 billion. Liquidity is assessed as medium risk, primarily because net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, despite a current ratio that is not explicitly detailed but implied by the balance sheet composition. The firm trades at a price-to-book ratio of 1.03 and an EV/EBITDA of 8.64, suggesting valuation multiples are aligned with book value and earnings power.
Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 14.82% and a return on assets (ROA) of 3.23%. The company generated $135.99 million in net income on $852.87 million in revenue, resulting in a net margin of approximately 15.9%. Operating income stands at $168.68 million, reflecting an operating margin of roughly 19.8%. These returns are derived from a stable revenue base, though the lack of cohort median data prevents a direct comparative assessment of profitability efficiency against industry peers.
Revenue concentration and segment details are not provided in the available data, limiting the analysis of geographic or product-specific exposure. The company’s total revenue of $852.87 million is treated as a consolidated figure. Without segment breakdowns, the diversity of revenue streams and potential concentration risks within specific business lines cannot be quantified.
Growth trajectory analysis is constrained by the absence of historical period data. The current financial snapshot provides a single-period view of revenue and net income, but no year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter trends are available to assess momentum. Consequently, the sustainability of the current revenue level and the direction of earnings growth remain unverified by historical performance metrics.
Risk assessment highlights medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk. The key flag notes that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, which may constrain financial flexibility during periods of market stress. Dilution risk is low, supported by the fact that basic and diluted shares outstanding are identical at 6,695,181, indicating no significant options or convertible securities currently impacting share count.
Recent observations include analyst estimates with a mean price target of $161.40 and a median of $155.00, against a current market price of $159.35. The mean recommendation is 3.25, indicating a neutral stance with one buy and one hold rating. News events reflect internal reconciler activities for coverage closure, with no external corporate actions or material news events disclosed in the provided data.
- VRTS.K trades at a P/E of 7.71 and P/B of 1.03, suggesting modest valuation multiples relative to earnings and book value.
- Net cash is negative after debt subtraction, creating medium liquidity risk despite a manageable debt-to-equity ratio of 0.42.
- ROE of 14.82% and ROA of 3.23% indicate efficient use of equity and assets, though cohort comparisons are unavailable.
- Dilution risk is low, with no difference between basic and diluted shares outstanding.
- Analyst sentiment is neutral, with a mean recommendation of 3.25 and a mean price target of $161.40.
