Sustained Revenue ExpansionA multi-year increase in revenues indicates expanding client penetration and stronger market demand for advisory services. Durable top-line growth supports scale economics, funds reinvestment into capabilities, and underpins long-term strategic initiatives across sectors.

Improving Operational MarginsRising gross and operating margins reflect better cost management and service delivery efficiency. Improved margin structure enhances cash generation potential per revenue unit, providing a more resilient earnings base to support debt servicing and strategic investments over time.

Diversified Consulting Revenue StreamsA multi-sector business model with retainers, project fees and partnership commissions reduces client concentration and revenue cyclicality. Diversification improves resilience to sector-specific shocks and supports more predictable recurring revenues over intermediate horizons.

Bears Say

High Financial LeverageSignificant leverage raises refinancing and interest-rate risk and constrains strategic flexibility. High debt levels can pressure free cash flow allocation, limit ability to invest in growth, and increase vulnerability to downside scenarios over the medium term.

Negative Free Cash FlowPersistent negative free cash flow undermines the company’s ability to self-fund operations, invest, or reduce debt. Reliance on external financing or asset sales to plug cash shortfalls raises long-term funding risk and can dilute returns to shareholders.

Volatile Net Profit MarginsFluctuating net margins signal variability in earnings quality and sensitivity to cost pressures or project mix. This volatility complicates long-term forecasting, weakens investor confidence in sustainable profits, and can hinder consistent capital allocation decisions.
