Alpina Holdings' (Catalist:ZXY) Earnings May Just Be The Starting Point
Even though Alpina Holdings Limited's (Catalist:ZXY) recent earnings release was robust, the market didn't seem to notice. We think that investors have missed some encouraging factors underlying the profit figures. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. A Closer Look At Alpina Holdings' Earnings One key financial ratio used to measure how well a company converts its profit to free cash flow (FCF) is the accrual ratio. To get the accrual ratio we first subtract FCF from profit for a period, and then divide that number by the average operating assets for the period. You could think of the accrual ratio from cashflow as the 'non-FCF profit ratio'. As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. That is not intended to imply we should worry about a positive accrual ratio, but it's worth noting where the accrual ratio is rather high. That's because some academic studies have suggested that high accruals ratios tend to lead to lower profit or less profit growth. Alpina Holdings has an accrual ratio of -0.14 for the year to June 2025. That implies it has very good cash conversion, and that its earnings in the last year actually significantly understate its free cash flow. To wit, it produced free cash flow of S$11m during the period, dwarfing its reported profit of S$4.29m. Given that Alpina Holdings had negative free cash flow in the prior corresponding period, the trailing twelve month resul of S$11m would seem to be a step in the right direction. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Alpina Holdings. Our Take On Alpina Holdings' Profit Performance As we discussed above, Alpina Holdings has perfectly satisfactory free cash flow relative to profit. Because of this, we think Alpina Holdings' earnings potential is at least as good as it seems, and maybe even better! Furthermore, it has done a great job growing EPS over the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. If you want to do dive deeper into Alpina Holdings, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing.

Pence calls for secondary sanctions on Russia
Former Vice President Pence urged the Senate on Thursday to pass a major sanctions bill against Russia, arguing that the hefty tariffs, along with continued military aid to Ukraine, provide the best 'pathway' to reaching peace in Eastern Europe. 'He's fully capable of doing the diplomatic thing and being friendly and shaking hands and at the same time saying, here's the economic consequences that are going to happen, unless you step forward,' Pence said of President Trump during his appearance on NewsNation's show 'The Hill.' 'If we pass those secondary sanctions, Vladimir Putin will understand that we could literally break their economy and by providing continued military support for Ukraine, that combination of efforts, I think, is the best pathway to peace,' the former vice president told host Blake Burman. The sanctions bill, which has been pushed by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), would impose 500 percent tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. The measure has over 85 co-sponsors in the upper chamber, but the Senate left for recess before advancing the bill, deferring to Trump to give the green light. 'We propose in our bill 500 percent. If it's 250 percent, I could live with it. Even if it's 100 percent, possibly. But you ought to impose bone-crushing sanctions that will stop them from fueling Russia's war machine,' Blumenthal said earlier this month. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said on Monday that Trump should be 'commended' for his efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war and signaled the Senate is 'ready' to provide the president 'any economic leverage needed to keep Russia at the table to negotiate a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.' Trump has pushed to end the three-and-a-half-year war, meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with seven European leaders, on Monday at the White House. Since then, Russian officials have expressed doubt about the possibilities of a speedy peace deal with Ukraine, including agreeing on security guarantees for Kyiv and scheduling a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelensky, for which the president has advocated for some time. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov questioned Zelensky's legitimacy on Thursday and stated the security guarantees under ongoing talks are 'hopeless.' Lavrov claimed that Putin is ready to meet with the Ukrainian president with the 'understanding that all issues that require consideration at the highest level will be well worked out.' Trump said Thursday that 'interesting times [are] ahead' and slammed his predecessor, former President Biden, over his administration's policy of barring Ukraine from using U.S. long-range weapons to strike deep inside Russia. 'It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It's like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia,' the president said on Truth Social. Pence, in the interview with NewsNation, argued that one of the reasons why Putin did not invade Ukraine during Trump's first White House term is that the Trump-Pence administration 'had the credible threat of the use of force.' 'He saw us take action, unleashing our military to take down the ISIS caliphate,' Pence said on Thursday. 'Send cruise missiles into Syria to take down Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard leader.'
