Excellent balance sheet with proven track record and pays a dividend

CAM delivered a triple-digit bottom-line expansion over the past couple of years, with its most recent earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did CAM outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Food industry expansion, which generated a 2.0% earnings growth. This is what investors like to see! CAM's strong financial health means that all of its upcoming liability payments are able to be met by its current cash and short-term investment holdings. This implies that CAM manages its cash and cost levels well, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. CAM's has produced operating cash levels of 0.99x total debt over the past year, which implies that CAM's management has put its borrowings into good use by generating enough cash to cover a sufficient portion of borrowings.

For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, CAM is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 1.5%.
