Winston Score History

The full picture

Semperit AG Holding is an Austrian industrial company that makes rubber and polymer-based products. Its main products include conveyor belts, hydraulic hoses, escalator handrails, and industrial gloves. These products are sold to customers in industries like mining, construction, healthcare, and transportation infrastructure.

Semperit earns money by manufacturing and selling these physical goods to businesses around the world. The company operates primarily in Europe but also has production facilities and customers in Asia and the Americas, generating roughly €900 million in annual revenue in recent fiscal periods. Its long history — dating back to 1824 — and specialized manufacturing expertise give it some brand recognition, but it faces stiff competition from larger global rubber and polymer manufacturers. A key risk is that the company exited the medical glove business after a pandemic-era boom collapsed, leaving it more dependent on its industrial segment, where thin operating margins leave little room for error if raw material costs rise or demand softens.

Growth + cash flow

Semperit AG is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 16%. 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.

Share count broadly stable

0.0% over 4y

The share count has stayed roughly flat over this period — little dilution or buyback activity.
