Fortinet, Inc. (FTNT) on Decifer

Decifer ranks FTNT number 3 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 29% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 14% a year, profits grew 7% 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.
• The sole credible integrated network security platform with returns around 29%, momentum of 22 out of 35, and partial recognition stands out despite durability pressure.
