ROLRollins, Inc.
Is the business good?
A genuinely good business: earnings fully cash-backed (1.3×) and elite returns on assets.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash.
Negative operating leverage, costs are rising faster than sales, squeezing margins as it grows.
High-quality, exceptional returns on the assets themselves, not leverage. ROE 38% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.
