2 Profitable Stocks on Our Watchlist and 1 to Turn Down
While profitability is essential, it doesn't guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity". Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that's why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here are two profitable companies that generate reliable profits without sacrificing growth and one that may face some trouble. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 8.9% Known for its proprietary D-U-N-S Number that serves as a unique identifier for businesses worldwide, Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE:DNB) provides business decisioning data and analytics that help companies evaluate credit risks, verify suppliers, enhance sales productivity, and gain market visibility. Why Is DNB Risky? 3.7% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its business services peers Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 5 percentage points Flat earnings per share over the last four years lagged its peers Dun & Bradstreet's stock price of $9.02 implies a valuation ratio of 8.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including DNB in your portfolio, it's free. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 18% Started with the invention of the steam drill, Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR) provides mission-critical air, gas, liquid, and solid flow creation solutions. Why Do We Like IR? Operating margin expanded by 13 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 17.2% annually, topping its revenue gains IR is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy At $83.05 per share, Ingersoll Rand trades at 23.8x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it's free. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 15.3% Founded in 1999 and receiving its first FDA approval in 2006, DexCom (NASDAQ:DXCM) develops and sells continuous glucose monitoring systems that allow people with diabetes to track their blood sugar levels without repeated finger pricks. Why Is DXCM a Good Business? Existing business lines can expand without risky acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 19.2% over the past two years Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 23.2% outpaced its revenue gains Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures DexCom is trading at $86.15 per share, or 39.6x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it's free. Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs. While this leaves much uncertainty around 2025, a few companies are poised for long-term gains regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate, like our Top 5 Strong Momentum Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 183% over the last five years (as of March 31st 2025).

Dun & Bradstreet India Unveils Strategic Insights for Indian Exporters Amid Global Trade Shifts
MUMBAI, India, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dun & Bradstreet India, a leading provider of business decisioning data and analytics, has released a new report titled 'Navigating the Fault Lines of Global Trade: An Indian Perspective,' offering a comprehensive analysis of the shifting trade landscape and its implications for Indian exporters. As global trade tensions intensify and the United States recalibrates its economic engagement, the report reveals that the trade environment has changed significantly. Indian businesses need to be ready to mitigate rising risks while seizing newly emerging export opportunities. Key Highlights of the Report: Trade Reset in Motion: Recent U.S. tariff actions mark a significant shift in global trade strategy, impacting a wide range of trading partners including India through broad, cross-border measures. Margins Under Pressure: Of India's 3,934 product lines exported to the U.S., over 3,100 now face a 10% flat tariff, and 343 are hit with a 25% rate. Sectors like iron & steel, machinery, textiles, and chemicals are the most exposed. Opportunities Taking Shape: The report identifies 360 high-potential products where India is well-positioned to strengthen its presence in the U.S. market. Big opportunities lie in specialty chemicals, pharma inputs, home textiles, and industrial components. Smart Product Strategy: Products are mapped into four zones—Sweet Spots, High Risk–High Reward, Margin Traps, and Non-Core to help businesses focus where it matters most. "This marks an important shift in the global trade landscape," said Arun Singh, Global Chief Economist, Dun & Bradstreet. "India is at a point where thoughtful, strategic steps can help turn current global changes into long-term success. As supply chains diversify and trade policies evolve, Indian exporters have a chance to strengthen their role in key sectors.
