Winston Score

Winston is serious

Below-average fundamentals — multiple weak pillars.

Winston Score below 40. The stock fails on most of our quality checks.

ProfilGruppen is a Swedish company that makes aluminum profiles — long, shaped pieces of aluminum used in buildings, vehicles, electronics, and industrial equipment. Customers include manufacturers in the construction, automotive, and engineering industries across Europe. The company is one of the larger aluminum profile producers in Scandinavia.

ProfilGruppen earns revenue by selling extruded aluminum products, where raw aluminum is pushed through a shaped die to create custom cross-sections for clients. It operates primarily in Sweden and exports across Europe, generating roughly 7 billion Swedish kronor in annual sales. Its competitive position rests on close customer relationships, technical customization, and production efficiency, though its thin margins leave it exposed to swings in aluminum prices and energy costs — both of which it does not fully control. The key risk going forward is that weaker demand in construction and automotive markets, combined with high input costs, could compress margins further.

Revenue declining

ProfilGruppen AB (publ)'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.
