• Revenue is expected to grow about 10% a year, profits grew 843% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high 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.
• 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.
• Returns of 18% and 843% profit growth reflect deep profitability, but no funded role in the assessed thesis and a lagging sector keep the ceiling firm despite momentum of 13 out of 35.
