Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (VRTX) on Decifer

Decifer ranks VRTX number 48 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

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 expected to grow about 10% a year, profits grew 843% 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.
  • 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 of 18% and 843% profit growth reflect deep profitability, but no worldview role keeps the ceiling firm despite momentum of 13 out of 35.
