On the stock market since 2008, it operates in the world of money and finance. It has 4,687 employees. Now — the numbers.
This is an established company with proven profits.
No real growth (1% a year). Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
The stock trades below its recent peak — about 13% off the top. A pullback, not a collapse.
The net profit margin is 23% — the profit kept from each dollar of revenue is the company’s cushion in hard quarters.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 7 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
It pays out $0.20 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Nothing in the current numbers stands out as a clear risk. Still, no stock is ever risk-free.
