Growth Score

6 of 10 Solid growth

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

  • Revenue grows by more than 15% a year over three years 6.8% failed
  • More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year 2.8% failed
  • Share count grows by less than 3% a year -1.4% passed
  • Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 49.8% passed
  • Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 71.7% failed
  • Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 20.9% passed
  • Net debt below twice EBITDA 538 m net cash passed
  • Operating cash flow covers the profits of the last three years 44 m passed
  • Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago 17.3% passed
  • Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 1.2% 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.
