TransAct Technologies makes specialized printers and software used in specific industries. Its main products include printers for casinos and food service kitchens, where they print things like slot machine tickets and food order labels. The company is best known for its TITO (ticket-in, ticket-out) printers, which are widely used across the casino gaming industry in the United States.

TransAct earns money by selling hardware and, increasingly, through a software subscription service called BOHA!, which helps restaurants and food manufacturers manage kitchen tasks and food safety compliance. The company operates mainly in the United States and is a small-cap business with a market cap under $100 million. Its long history in casino printing gives it an established customer base, but the main challenge it faces is growing its BOHA! software revenue fast enough to offset slow or declining demand in its traditional casino printer business.

Growth + cash flow

TransAct Technologies Incorporated is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 10%. 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.
