Moat Trajectory: ▸ CAUTION — Under Pressure
Durability of 54/100 with growth consistency at 78/100 signals emerging competitive pressures that may erode the business's defensibility over time.
Capital Deployment:
Capital deployment raises concerns (returns: 51/100, profitability: 46/100). The company may be over-investing in low-return projects or facing structural profitability challenges.
ROIC of 21.3% meaningfully exceeds the sector benchmark of 10%, suggesting genuine competitive advantages.
Earnings Quality Deep Dive:
Earnings quality is adequate but not exceptional. OCF/NI of 98% means 2% of earnings aren't converting to cash.
Piotroski F-Score of 6/9: Good — majority of financial health indicators are positive.
Balance Sheet Reality:
The balance sheet shows some strain. Leverage composite of 51/100 combined with liquidity at 32/100 suggests the company is operating with tighter financial constraints.
D/E of -11.92x is conservative, with adequate interest coverage (5.3x).
▸ Active Penalty Flags:
▼ Capex Starvation: The company is underinvesting relative to depreciation, which may impair future competitiveness.
▼ Z-Score Exit Trigger: Altman Z-Score of -0.39 has breached the distress threshold. Mitigated somewhat by adequate interest coverage.
Investment Profile: AVOID
Low health (34/100) and poor safety (32/100) signal fundamental deterioration. Risk/reward unfavorable. Recommendation: Reduce/exit.
