Luckily for us this KE Holdings not only has a huge amount of cash on hand, as well as seemingly having a small amount of debt on their books, this is good for a current ratio of 1.82. I feel like this is not a business we can just pass up due to concerns through the country of origins. However, I think I would like to push this research a little further down the road, seeing I will be spending more time on this research due to different fillings and the geological concerns. This is time I currently don’t have seeing we’re in the mids of restructuring our portfolio. This in my mind takes precedence over the riskier nature of this stock. ⏳ Find copy trading an interesting tool to diversify or lighten your work load? Check out my profile and statistics!
