Why BOOT Fits the GARP Strategy

  • Strong Earnings Growth: Over the past five years, BOOT has delivered an impressive average annual EPS growth of 28.69%, well above the minimum 15% threshold in our screen. This indicates consistent expansion in profitability.
  • Reasonable Valuation: While the PEG ratio (1.84) is slightly above the ideal threshold of 1, the company’s high profitability and financial health may justify the premium.
  • Healthy Balance Sheet: With a minimal debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01, BOOT maintains a conservative capital structure, reducing financial risk. The current ratio of 2.20 also reflects strong liquidity.
  • High Profitability: The return on equity (ROE) stands at 15.86%, exceeding the 15% benchmark, signaling efficient use of shareholder capital.

Fundamental Highlights

Our fundamental analysis assigns BOOT a rating of 6 out of 10, with strengths in profitability and financial health. Key takeaways:

  • Profit Margins: BOOT’s operating margin (12.46%) and profit margin (9.37%) outperform most industry peers.
  • Growth Outlook: Analysts project continued EPS growth at 13.54% annually, supported by an 11.13% expected revenue increase.
  • Valuation: The stock trades at a P/E of 26.74, slightly above the S&P 500 average, but its growth trajectory and strong fundamentals may support the valuation.
