What's working
- Forward P/E: Investors aren't pricing in much earnings growth, so there's room to be pleasantly surprised.
- Price / sales: You're paying a modest amount for each dollar of revenue coming in.
What to watch
- Debt exceeds cash by $31.1B, increasing balance-sheet pressure, a warning sign.
- ROIC: Capital plowed back into the business isn't earning much for its trouble.
