Is the business good?
A genuinely good business: earnings fully cash-backed (1.8×) and margins widening.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash. Conversion is improving vs a year ago.
Positive operating leverage, operating profit is growing faster than sales, so margins widen as the business scales.
Where this answer is blind. The F-score rewards improvement, so an already-elite company can score mid-pack.
