Is the business good?
A genuinely good business: earnings fully cash-backed (1.4×) and margins widening.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash. Conversion is worsening vs a year ago.
Operating margin has widened over the past few years, the business is getting more profitable per dollar of sales.
Margin-driven, fat margins on slower asset turns. ROE 12% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.
