Winston Score History

The full picture

Ooma is a telecommunications company that sells phone and communication services to homes and small businesses across the United States. Its main products include Ooma Telo, a home phone device that lets people make calls over the internet, and Ooma Office, a cloud-based phone system built for small and medium-sized businesses. The company competes in the crowded internet-based phone market, often positioning itself as a low-cost alternative to traditional phone carriers.

Ooma makes money through monthly subscription fees for its business and residential services, plus some hardware sales when customers buy its physical devices. Most of its revenue comes from the United States, and the company generates over 60 cents of gross profit for every dollar of revenue, which reflects the relatively low cost of delivering software-based phone services. Its main growth driver is expanding its business subscriber base, but it faces stiff competition from larger players like RingCentral and Microsoft Teams, which have far greater resources.

Growth + cash flow

Ooma is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 15%. 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.
