Fortive Corporation (FTV) on Decifer

Decifer ranks FTV number 249 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• Its returns on invested money are modest, around 7% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is expected to grow about 4% a year, profits are expected to grow 8%, 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.
• 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.
• Steady high margins and improving returns near 7% are decent, but revenue expected to grow only about 4% a year with no growth story and momentum of 10 out of 35 keep it modest.
