Fundamental quality
79
out of 100
Northern Trust Corp runs like a cash machine: it converts about 20.6% of revenue into free cash flow and holds a 28.8% net margin, though it grows at a measured pace. On fundamental quality it scores 79 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +5.8%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Northern Trust is the discreet bank of the very wealthy and large institutions: it safekeeps assets for pension funds and family fortunes, manages wealth and earns fees for minding other people's money more than for lending it. White-glove banking with a century and a half of history.
