As XYZ Surges 12% in a Week, ACIW’s Story Stands Out
ACIW offers superior revenue growth across key periods, better profitability, and relatively lower valuation.
- ACIW’s quarterly revenue grew 24.9%, vs. XYZ’s -3.1%.
- In addition, its Last 12 Months growth came in at 13.1%, ahead of XYZ’s 4.6%.
- ACIW leads on profitability over both periods – LTM margin of 21.3% and 3-year average of 16.5%.
That is one way to look at stocks. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates much more, and is designed to reduce stock-specific risk while giving upside exposure
