Belden Inc.
Belden combines profitable operations, positive free cash flow, and modest revenue growth with a balance sheet that maintains current liquidity above current obligations. However, the share price is positioned near the lower end of its 52-week range and below both reported short- and intermediate-term moving averages, while income and operating-cash-flow growth have softened. Valuation measures appear moderate on earnings and EBITDA, although the free-cash-flow multiple is higher than the earnings multiple.
