4 NASDAQ Smallcaps Strong Cash Holdings

4 NASDAQ Smallcaps Strong Cash Holdings

“Cash is king,” may be an age-old saying, but its wisdom is timeless. In the world of business, having a strong cash reserve is an extremely ideal situation for any company across any industry. Cash helps pay the bills, fuel growth through capital expenditures, pay dividends, mergers & acquisitions, and more. Furthermore, the larger a company’s cash reserves, the less risk there is (theoretically) to bankruptcy, assuming normal business operations.

Cash holdings become increasingly important as business cycles near a change. With the longest bull market in U.S. history continuing to slowly move along, a growing number of economists and financial experts are seeing a greater risk for an upcoming recession. Liquid assets like cash become a life-line for companies as they grapple with changing economic environments, which could impact bottom-line profitability. While cash holdings are by no means a “silver bullet” during a recessionary period, it does provide companies with slightly more flexibility to act and pivot where needed.

With the global economy continuing to show early signs of a slowdown, here are four NASDAQ smallcaps with ample cash reserves and strong balance sheets:
