Surge Components, Inc. is a small distributor of electronic components, selling parts like capacitors, semiconductors, connectors, and LED lighting products to manufacturers and businesses that build electronic devices. The company acts as a middleman, sourcing components from suppliers and reselling them to customers who need smaller quantities than large manufacturers typically offer. It operates in the electronic components distribution industry, serving a range of industrial and commercial buyers across North America.

Surge Components makes money by buying components at wholesale prices and selling them at a markup, keeping roughly 29 cents of gross profit on every dollar of sales. The company is very small, with a market cap near zero, and competes against much larger distributors like Arrow Electronics and Avnet, which have far greater purchasing power and supplier relationships. Its main risk is that thin operating margins of under 3% leave little room for error, and larger competitors can undercut pricing or offer broader product catalogs that are difficult for a small distributor to match.

Growth + cash flow

Surge Components is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 13%. 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.
