Very Strong Balance Sheet

CHTP has more Cash than its Total Liabilities, resulting in $0.54 Net Cash per share. In other words, if you buy CHTP today, the price you're paying for shares is actually $1.30 because $0.54 of Cash is included in the current share price. This much Cash is very healthy. It can help CHTP sustain itself in the face of any economic turmoil and makes a stock buyback more of a possibility.

Low or No Reinvestment of Profits over the past 8 years

CHTP has either been retaining a small amount of their earnings or has done so inconsistently. A lack of consistency could be due to CHTP operating at a loss or them having such a strong economic moat they feel comfortable spending profits on growth. Be wary of future prospects and if applicable, inspect the moat's sustainability.
