ACI Worldwide, Inc. (ACIW) on Decifer

Decifer ranks ACIW number 144 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 10% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 10% a year, profits grew 13% 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.
• 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.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• Revenue growing 10% with profits up 13% and momentum of 17 is steady, but no reason to grow keeps it middling.
