Mueller Water Products, Inc. (MWA) on Decifer

Decifer ranks MWA number 161 of 265 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 13% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 9% a year, profits grew 66% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a healthy share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders.
• A 13% return business with 66% profit growth and a 9% revenue growth rate gets zero help from a 1 out of 35 momentum score and no funded reason to grow.
