GFA Revenue

Unfortunately, we do not have reliable fundamental data available for GFA at this time. Coverage will resume as reliable data becomes available.

GFA Cash Earnings

When there is not enough positive Cash Earnings history available for a company, we at Ockham Research can find it quite difficult to actually rate their ability to generate cash. Such is the case with GFA. When a company has current positive cash earnings but not enough years of history to compare it to, we find the correlation of cash earnings to valuation significantly hindered. So with GFA, we will have to wait to see if there are a few more cycles of positive Cash Earnings numbers before we will be confident in our Cash Earnings analysis.

GFA Dividends

A strong dividend payment history is looked upon as a favorable characteristic on a company’s future and potentially can receive a positive Ockham rating. That being said, we don’t require dividend payments for company’s whose management has elected to forgo them entirely. As of the time of this report, our data provider does not have historical data for GFA. Therefore, we are not utilizing the dividends portion in our study. So, we do not know whether GFA currently pays a dividend at present or not, we have an "expected dividend" payment listed in key fundamentals but cannot varify it.
