  • Scales passes earnings-growth screen as EPS climbs; insider buying noted
    January 18, 2026, 3:42 PM EST. Scales (NZSE:SCL) passed a stock screen for earnings growth. The company has grown EPS by 26% a year over three years, while EBIT margins have risen from 10% to 13% and revenue is expanding. The data points to a solid growth trajectory beyond revenue alone. Insider activity adds context: one insider, Non-Executive Independent Director Miranda Burdon, spent about NZ$706k to buy shares at roughly NZ$5.93, while selling was limited. Analysts' consensus forecasts for future EPS remain accessible for free. The piece contrasts profitable, growing names with speculative, loss-making story stocks, suggesting Scales may offer a steadier path for investors seeking enduring profit and clearer earnings visibility.
