The only rank that is above average is the consolidated Safety Rank at 90, which means that the company has a financing structure that is safer than those of 90% comparable companies when looking at the amount of its debt, its refinancing requirements, and its ability to service debt. But the Value, Growth and Sentiment Ranks are all below average. The consolidated Value Rank has a less desirable rank of 46, which means that the share price of Cathay General Bancorp is on the high side compared with typical size in indicators such as revenues, profits, and invested capital. The consolidated Growth Rank also has a low rank of 44, which implies that the company exhibits below-average growth momentum when looking at financial metrics such as revenue, profit, and invested capital growth as well as stock returns. Finally, the consolidated Sentiment Rank is also low at a rank of 44, which means that professional investors are more pessimistic about the stock than for 56% of alternative investment opportunities.
