Analysis Summary

This is a rather promising picture for AB. The company throws off serious returns on its capital, has a remarkably solid balance sheet with no debt, and appears to have a strong, defensible position in its industry. We're seeing consistent growth alongside a healthy buyback program, all at a reasonable valuation. It's a business that seems to be firing on all cylinders, and that's the kind of disciplined compounding we like to see.
