Winston Score History

The full picture

Warehouses De Pauw (WDP) is a Belgian real estate company that owns and rents out large warehouse and logistics buildings. Its customers are businesses that need storage and distribution space — think e-commerce retailers, manufacturers, and logistics companies. WDP is one of the largest listed logistics property owners in the Benelux region, with a portfolio spanning millions of square meters.

WDP makes money by collecting rent from long-term leases on its warehouse properties, which explains its high gross margins. The company operates mainly across Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, and France, giving it a diversified European footprint. Its competitive edge comes from owning well-located, modern logistics hubs that are expensive and slow to replace — but rising interest rates are a key risk, since higher borrowing costs can compress property valuations and make it harder to finance new developments, which are central to WDP's growth strategy.

Growth + cash flow

Warehouses De Pauw N.V. 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.
