Afarak Group, with a market cap of €73.45 million, reported half-year sales of €77.07 million and net income of €2.06 million, showing improvement from the previous year. Despite being unprofitable and having negative operating cash flow, Afarak’s financial position is bolstered by more cash than total debt and short-term assets exceeding both short- and long-term liabilities. The board is experienced, with an average tenure of 8.4 years, while management has a tenure averaging 2.1 years. However, its share price remains highly volatile and interest payments are not well covered by EBIT at 1.8 times coverage.
