Got this company from a set of screens that I put.
- Flow ratio
- Growth of Revenue / Account Receivable ratio (meaning they manage their account better)
- Liquidity
- Profit Margin

Their product is not main stream, but it is a very specialized engineering software, which makes them hard to compete with (in their own niche market). Therefore, there is no indication on where this company will be beyond next year, but it can definitely generate some growth this year.
