Winston Score History

The full picture

Reitmans (Canada) Limited is a Canadian clothing retailer that sells affordable women's fashion through physical stores and online. It operates several brands, including Reitmans, Penningtons, and RW&CO., targeting women of various ages and sizes across Canada. The company is one of the few remaining mid-market Canadian apparel chains with a focus on plus-size and everyday casual clothing.

Reitmans makes money primarily through direct product sales in its stores and on its e-commerce platforms. It operates exclusively in Canada, with several hundred store locations, making it a small-cap retailer with a modest national footprint. The company's familiarity with Canadian shoppers and its plus-size focus through Penningtons provide some differentiation, but thin operating margins of around 2% leave little room for error, and ongoing competition from fast-fashion giants and online retailers like Amazon remains a significant risk to long-term profitability.

Cash watch

Reitmans (Canada) Limited has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

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.
