Below-average fundamentals — multiple weak pillars.

Share count rising — dilution

+286.9% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 34.6M (2022) → 133.8M (2026)

PowerFleet makes software and hardware that helps businesses keep track of their vehicles and cargo. Its main products are GPS tracking devices and a cloud platform that shows companies where their trucks, trailers, and forklifts are at all times. Customers include trucking fleets, logistics companies, and large industrial businesses that need to manage lots of moving equipment.

The company earns most of its revenue through recurring software subscriptions, which explains its roughly 55% gross margin, with some additional income from selling the physical tracking hardware. PowerFleet operates across North America, Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia, putting it in a competitive market alongside larger players like Samsara and Verizon Connect. Its main growth driver is expanding its software platform after acquiring Mix Telematics in 2024, which significantly increased its scale, but the company still operates near breakeven and will need to improve profitability to prove the combined business can generate consistent returns.

Revenue accelerating

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.
