iStar Financial Inc.

iStar Financial Inc. is a high-yielding company with a forward-looking price to earnings ratio of just 10.81 times next year’s projected earnings. With a recent ticker price of $45.01, iStar Financial Inc. is ready for significant appreciation. The company’s operating profit margin is an impressive 78.30%. This results in an annual operating cash flow of $495.0M.

iStar Financial Inc. is a cash cow that has a reasonably attractive valuation. With a beta of 1.33, the company is more risky than the stock market as a whole. This information is useful, but a more careful analysis of iStar Financial Inc. 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 iStar Financial Inc.’s total market capitalization of $5.769B is ample proof of such liquidity.
