Weak Balance Sheet

PHI's financial position is not ideal. The key is to check whether PHI is using debt to fuel its growth and the sustainability of that tendency. Highly capital intensive businesses (see Economic Moat) follow this route, which can deeply impact the future prospects of the business.

Consistent Reinvestment of Profits over the past 10 years

PHI has consistently retained profits. This may put PHI in a strong position to invest for the future, by buying new machinery, investing in R&D or a number of other options. By effectively using these earnings, PHI can greatly improve their long-term economic picture.
