NQ Mobile expensive than peers
NQ Mobile Inc (ADR) (NYSE:NQ) is thriving in its industry, with substantial revenue growth which outperforms the industry average of 10.9%. However, the third quarter surge in revenue did not tickle down to the bottom line. At present, NQ Mobile has zero debt to equity ratio, which is encouraging for investors. The quick ratio of the company came in at 4:14, reflecting the capacity of the company to cover short term cash needs.
In the previous year, shares of the company have performed better than the industry and the broader market. According to the analysts at The Street, the increase in the stock since last year has brought it to a level that is more expensive than peers in the industry.
