Very Strong Balance Sheet

NURO has more Cash than its Total Liabilities, resulting in $1.86 Net Cash per share. In other words, if you buy NURO today, the price you're paying for shares is actually $0.05 because $1.86 of Cash is included in the current share price. This much Cash is very healthy. It can help NURO 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 10 years

NURO has either been retaining a small amount of their earnings or has done so inconsistently. A lack of consistency could be due to NURO 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.
