Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $4.0B in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Webuild S.p.A. is an Italian construction company that builds large, complex infrastructure projects around the world. Its main work includes dams, tunnels, railways, highways, bridges, and water treatment plants. Governments and public agencies are its primary customers, making it one of the largest infrastructure contractors in Europe.

Webuild earns money by winning long-term construction contracts, typically paid in stages as projects are completed. The company operates across more than 50 countries, with major activity in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and the Americas, and it generates several billion euros in annual revenue. Its competitive edge comes from decades of experience handling technically difficult, large-scale projects that few contractors can manage — but its negative operating margin signals that cost overruns and project execution risks remain a serious challenge. The key growth driver is rising global government spending on infrastructure, though thin margins and exposure to fixed-price contracts mean any project delays or cost increases can quickly hurt profits.

Revenue declining

Webuild S.p.A.'s revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

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.
