Is the business good?
More warning than reassurance: 3 of 9 health tests passed, thin cash backing (0.5×), and margins compressing.
Weak, deteriorating fundamentals. Nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year health from the filings.
Operating profit outpaces operating cash flow, watch accruals and working capital. Conversion is improving vs a year ago.
Negative operating leverage, costs are rising faster than sales, squeezing margins as it grows.
A balanced mix of margins, efficiency, and leverage. ROE 13% = margin × turnover × leverage.
