Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) on Decifer

Decifer ranks GOOG number 157 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 22%.
• Revenue is expected to grow about 23% a year, profits grew 34% 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.
• 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.
• Returns around 22% and revenue expected to grow about 23% a year are strong but no worldview role and momentum of 7 out of 35 hold it in the middle.
