Winston Score History

The full picture

Cargojet is a Canadian air cargo company that flies packages and freight overnight across Canada. It operates a network of scheduled flights connecting major Canadian cities, and its main customers are large e-commerce retailers, courier companies, and logistics providers — including long-term contracts with Amazon and Canada Post. It is the dominant overnight air cargo network in Canada, controlling a large share of that market.

Cargojet makes money by charging customers to carry freight on its aircraft, with a mix of long-term contracted revenue and charter flights providing some stability. It operates almost entirely within Canada, with a small number of international charter routes, and its fleet of cargo jets and exclusive time-sensitive delivery windows create a real barrier for competitors trying to replicate its network. The key growth driver is continued expansion of Canadian e-commerce, but the main risk is customer concentration — losing or renegotiating a major contract with Amazon or Canada Post would meaningfully hurt revenue.

Growth + cash flow

Cargojet is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 16%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

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.
