AAQS

5/10

The AAQS (AlleAktien Quality Score) checks 10 quality criteria on growth, profitability, and balance-sheet strength — per the methodology developed and published by AlleAktien, calculated by us from our own fundamental data. A stock counts as a quality stock from 9 out of 10 points. Where a company has a shorter listing history, we calculate over the fiscal years available (at least five).

  • Sales growth 10Y > 5% 10.9%
  • Exp. sales growth 3Y > 5% 14.9%
  • EBIT growth 10Y > 5% 0.8%
  • Exp. EBIT growth 3Y > 5% 29.1%
  • Net debt < 4x EBIT 5.8x
  • EBIT positive, 10Y straight 10
  • Max. EBIT decline < 50% 97.8%
  • Return on equity > 15% 14.7%
  • ROCE > 15% 8.9%
  • Expected return > 10% 28.0%

Growth Score

3 of 10 Weak growth

Ten checks against the annual reports — each one passed counts a point.

  • Revenue grows by more than 15% a year over three years -0.5% failed
  • More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year -0.3% failed
  • Share count grows by less than 3% a year 1.5% passed
  • Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 10.8% failed
  • Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 9.5% failed
  • Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 0.7% failed
  • Net debt below twice EBITDA 3.5 x EBITDA failed
  • Operating cash flow covers the profits of the last three years 284 m passed
  • Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago 8.9% passed
  • Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 1.5% failed

A criterion without figures counts neither as passed nor as failed; a score is only produced from 7 judgeable criteria upwards. Source: fundamental data. All ten criteria in detail

Highlighted are things our editorial team noticed: green = stands out as strong, red = deserves a closer look. No single metric is a verdict on its own — always read it in context.

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
