Winston Score History

The full picture

ICL Group is a global mining and chemicals company based in Israel. It digs up minerals like potash and phosphate from the ground and turns them into fertilizers that farmers use to grow crops. It also makes specialty chemicals used in products like flame retardants, food ingredients, and industrial materials.

ICL earns money by selling these products to agricultural companies, food manufacturers, and industrial customers across more than 30 countries. It is one of the world's largest producers of potash and bromine, which gives it some natural advantages because these minerals are only found in certain places on Earth. However, the company's profits are heavily tied to commodity prices, which can swing sharply based on global supply and demand. The key risk is that fertilizer prices have fallen significantly from their 2022 peaks, which puts pressure on revenue and margins going forward.

Growth + cash flow

ICL Group is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 17%. 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.
