What's working
- ROIC: Money put back into the business keeps coming back out as profit, a hallmark of a durable moat.
- ROE: Shareholder capital is compounding at a rate worth paying attention to.
What to watch
- Debt exceeds cash by $1.1B, increasing balance-sheet pressure, a warning sign.
- Forward P/E: The price already assumes strong earnings growth that still has to show up.
