get_financial_statementsfor balance sheet and cash flow - •Focus on: Operating CF, Free CF, Debt levels, Cash position
Step 2: Cash Flow Quality

- •Is FCF (Free Cash Flow) positive? FCF = Operating CF - CapEx
- •FCF Margin = FCF / Revenue (higher is better, >15% is strong)
Step 3: Debt Analysis
- •Debt/Equity ratio (< 1 is conservative, > 2 is aggressive)
- •Interest coverage (EBIT / Interest Expense, > 5 is comfortable)
- •Net debt position (Total Debt - Cash)
Step 4: Liquidity Assessment
- •Current ratio (Current Assets / Current Liabilities, > 1.5 is healthy)
- •Quick ratio (excludes inventory, > 1 is good)
