Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 18% and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 22% a year, profits are expected to grow 7%, 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.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
