John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (WLY) on Decifer

Decifer ranks WLY number 79 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 15% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is expected to grow about 3% a year, profits grew 171% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, with profitability widening as it grows.
• 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.
• Returns of 15% and 171% profit growth with momentum of 14 out of 35 look healthy, but expected 3% revenue growth and no funded role cap growth.
