Winston Score History

The full picture

Ameriguard Security Services, Inc. is a small company that provides physical security guard services. Its core offering is supplying trained security personnel to businesses, government facilities, and other organizations that need on-site protection. The company operates in the private security services industry, which is highly fragmented and dominated by much larger national players.

The company earns revenue by contracting security officers to clients, typically through service agreements. Its gross margin of roughly 10% is thin, which is common in labor-intensive security staffing businesses where wages are the primary cost. With a negative operating margin and deeply negative return on invested capital, the company is currently spending more than it earns, which is a significant concern. The main risk is that Ameriguard competes against much larger, well-funded security firms that can offer lower prices and broader coverage, making it difficult for a small operator to win and keep contracts at profitable rates.
