Winston Score History

The full picture

Talex S.A. is a Polish information technology company that provides IT infrastructure, software, and services to businesses and public institutions in Poland. Its core offerings include hardware distribution, IT system integration, and managed services. The company operates in a crowded Polish IT services market alongside larger domestic and international competitors.

Talex earns revenue primarily by reselling hardware and software from major technology vendors, alongside fees for integration and support services. It operates almost entirely within Poland and is a small-cap company with a market value around $100 million. The very low gross margin of roughly 1% reflects the thin-margin nature of hardware resale, and the deeply negative operating margin signals that operating costs are far outpacing revenue — the central risk the company faces is demonstrating a path to profitability, likely by shifting its revenue mix toward higher-margin managed services and recurring contracts rather than low-margin product distribution.

Growth + cash flow

Talex S.A. is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 12%. 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

0.2% over 4y

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

Diluted shares outstanding: 3.0M (2021) → 3.0M (2025)
