Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM) on Decifer

Decifer ranks WPM number 142 of 277 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 16% and those returns have been improving.
• Revenue is growing about 83% a year, profits grew 182% 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.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• Strong 16% returns, revenue up about 83% a year, and profits up 182% are impressive, but momentum of 1 out of 35, an unclear read on management, and no worldview role limit the rank.

The current read
