## Common questions

### What is a net cash company?

A net cash company holds more cash and short-term deposits than all of its borrowings. It could repay every loan today and still have cash left, so a bad year is less likely to force it to borrow, sell assets or ask shareholders for money.

### Is net cash always a good sign?

No. Net cash makes a company safer, but it says nothing about whether the business earns money. A company can sit on cash while its profit shrinks, and cash kept idle for years earns little for shareholders. That's why this list is ranked by the full score, not by the cash pile.
