WD-40 Company (WDFC) on Decifer

Decifer ranks WDFC number 130 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

  • It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 25% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
  • Revenue is expected to grow about 6% a year, profits grew 31% 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.
  • Strong 25 percent returns and 31 percent profit growth show quality, but expected 6 percent revenue growth and momentum of 1 out of 35 below trend with no funded role offer little.
