Westamerica Bancorporation (WABC) on Decifer

Decifer ranks WABC number 236 of 276 tracked names on durable business quality.

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 not growing right now, profits are expected to grow 1%, 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.
• High margins and improving returns around 10% are durable, but with revenue not growing right now and no worldview role it stays steady rather than a growth pick.
