Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Deceuninck NV designs, manufactures, recycles, and distributes multi-material window, door, and building solutions across Europe, North America, Turkey, and internationally with a market cap of €304.09 million.

Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from its Window and Door Systems segment, which accounts for €724.41 million, followed by Home Protection at €38.30 million and Outdoor Living at €26.26 million.

Market Cap: €304.09M

Deceuninck NV’s recent earnings report highlights a significant turnaround, with net income rising to €11.15 million for the first half of 2025, up from €7.74 million the previous year, despite a decline in sales to €383.55 million from €421.57 million. This growth is supported by an impressive earnings increase of over 800% last year and strong financial health with short-term assets exceeding liabilities and well-covered interest payments on debt. However, challenges include a relatively inexperienced management team and low return on equity at 5.7%, alongside an unstable dividend track record which may concern some investors seeking consistent returns.

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Nurminen Logistics Oyj offers logistics services across Finland, Russia, Sweden, and the Baltic countries with a market cap of €83.92 million.

Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from its Transportation – Trucking segment, which generated €107.40 million.

Market Cap: €83.92M

Nurminen Logistics Oyj has shown a positive shift in its financial performance, reporting net income of €1.47 million for Q2 2025 compared to a loss the previous year, with sales reaching €27.93 million. The company’s debt levels are satisfactory, with operating cash flow covering 52.9% of its debt and interest payments well covered by EBIT at 4.7 times. Despite past negative earnings growth, Nurminen’s return on equity is high at 33.2%, and it trades significantly below estimated fair value. However, short-term assets do not cover long-term liabilities, posing potential financial challenges ahead.

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Acarix AB (publ) is a medical device company that develops AI-based solutions for the rapid rule-out of coronary artery disease, with a market cap of SEK335.31 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue from its Diagnostic Kits and Equipment segment, amounting to SEK5.56 million.

Market Cap: SEK335.31M

Acarix AB is navigating the European penny stock landscape with a focus on AI-driven diagnostic solutions, but faces challenges typical of its category. Despite recent advancements in U.S. reimbursement processes for its CADScor device and entry into the MENA market with a SEK1.35 million order, Acarix remains pre-revenue, reporting sales of SEK2.87 million for the first half of 2025. The company is unprofitable and has less than a year of cash runway, though it benefits from being debt-free and having short-term assets exceeding liabilities. Management’s limited experience may impact strategic execution as they aim for financial stability amidst high share price volatility.
