Winston Score History

The full picture

Porch Group is a software and insurance company that helps people when they move into a new home. It offers services like home inspections, moving help, and home warranties, and it sells homeowners insurance through its own insurance carrier. The company's main customers are people buying or moving into homes, and it works closely with home inspectors and real estate companies to reach them.

Porch makes money by charging for software subscriptions used by home inspectors, earning premiums from its insurance products, and taking fees from home services like moving and warranties. It operates mainly in the United States and had roughly $400 million in annual revenue in recent periods. Its edge comes from connecting with homeowners at the moment they move — a time when people buy lots of new services — but its main risk is exposure to catastrophic weather events and rising claims costs, which have pressured its insurance business in recent years.

Growth + cash flow

Porch Group is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 18%. 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.
