What's working
- ROIC: Money put back into the business keeps coming back out as profit, a hallmark of a durable moat.
- Debt / equity: Light borrowing means a rough patch wouldn't threaten the balance sheet.
What to watch
- Debt exceeds cash by $177.6M, increasing balance-sheet pressure, a warning sign.
- Forward P/E: The price already assumes strong earnings growth that still has to show up.
