Cyborg Score Rationale

Over the last 12 months, Premium Water Holdings generated trailing earnings growth of 0.9% compared with its five year annual earnings growth rate of 16.4%. The combination of slower trailing earnings growth, slightly softer margins and a high debt load highlights that balance sheet strength is a key concern. The company shows profitable operations but faces growth deceleration and leverage challenges.
