Apollo Investment Corporation

Apollo Investment Corporation is a high-yielding company with a forward-looking price to earnings ratio of just 11.22 times next year’s projected earnings. With a recent ticker price of $21.89, Apollo Investment Corporation is ready for significant appreciation. The company’s operating profit margin is an impressive 60.01%. This results in an annual operating cash flow of $1.510B.

Apollo Investment Corporation is a cash cow that has a reasonably attractive valuation. With a beta of 0.22, the company is less risky than the stock market as a whole. This information is useful, but a more careful analysis of Apollo Investment Corporation reveals that the company’s risk profile is not as volatile as many of its competitors. It’s important to invest in a sufficiently liquid stock that money can be taken out of the position on every trading day and Apollo Investment Corporation’s total market capitalization of $2.266B is ample proof of such liquidity.
