Slb N.V. (SLB) on Decifer

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 expected to grow about 8% a year, profits are expected to grow 31%, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a thin 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.
• And it returns cash to shareholders.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• It trades about 45% above similar companies, and its growth does not yet back up that price.
