Winston Score History

The full picture

Coloured Ties Capital Inc. is a small Canadian investment company that focuses on providing capital and financial support to businesses in the agricultural sector. It operates similarly to a holding company or merchant bank, taking stakes in or lending to early-stage and growing companies that need funding to expand. The company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange, which is a Canadian stock exchange known for listing smaller, earlier-stage businesses.

Coloured Ties makes money primarily through investment income, interest, and returns generated from its portfolio of holdings. It operates mainly in Canada and has a very small market presence, with a market capitalization that rounds to essentially zero at scale. The 100% gross margin reflects its financial services nature, where revenue comes from capital deployment rather than physical goods. The key risk for the company is concentration — if a small number of portfolio investments perform poorly, it could significantly hurt overall returns given the limited size and diversification of the business.

Strong grower

Coloured Ties Capital is growing revenue at 100% 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.
