Winston Score History

The full picture

Cadence Capital is an Australian investment company that manages a portfolio of stocks on behalf of its shareholders. It buys and sells shares in other publicly listed companies, aiming to grow the value of its portfolio over time. The firm is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and operates as a Listed Investment Company, or LIC.

Cadence Capital makes money by earning returns on its investments, and it charges a management fee based on the size and performance of its portfolio. It operates primarily in Australian equities but may hold some international positions. The company's competitive edge comes from its active trading approach, which uses a rules-based system to decide when to buy and sell stocks. The main risk the business faces is that poor investment performance can cause its shares to trade at a discount to the value of its underlying portfolio, which can make it harder to attract and retain investors over time.

Strong grower

Cadence Capital Limited is growing revenue at 129% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
