WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
92%Royalty
RoyaltyProducts 4%Product and Service, Other 3%Franchise 2%

Revenue last year:
$86.1M
The net profit left over:
$41.7M
Out of every $100 in sales, $48 stays as net profit.
THE SLICE THAT TURNS INTO PROFIT: 48%

This is an established company with proven profits.

INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
99
very strong

Profit power and business quality lead the class.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH
99
very strong

A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.

VALUATION
27
very weak

Clearly below the class average.

GROWTH
55
average

There is growth, but not at top-of-the-class tempo.

PRICE MOMENTUM
26
very weak

Clearly below the class average.

WORTH WATCHING

Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.

Valuation: The stock trades at a price that looks expensive next to its earnings; that can cap future returns.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
Below the peak, but no collapse.

The stock trades 40% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/3
A fat but narrowing margin

The net profit margin is 48% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/3
Executives are buying their own stock

Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 42 buys and 23 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.

3
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 3/3
Pays a steady dividend

It pays out $13.96 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
Growth has stalled

Over the last 4 years, sales grew only 2% a year on average. At this size, speeding back up is not easy.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
The stock has lost its spark

Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 26/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
The price runs ahead of the earnings

Today’s price already includes part of tomorrow’s optimism. Report-card grade: 27/100.

FINALE · THE GRADE
A+
91 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, WINA sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.

The takeaway: WINA is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s whether the price paid for the stock is too high.

The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.

Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (27/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
