SGA is relatively inconsistent, which can mean they face intense competition.
Avg. SGA is ≈56.52%, which is moderate. Ideally, this would be under 30%. If it's closer to 70%, it's on the bad side of the range.
R&D as % of Gross Profit is 40.72% on average, which is high. There is an inherent risk that the technological advantage the company enjoys will be obsolete at some point in the future.

Net Income is relatively inconsistent. When Net Income is inconsistent, it's hard to determine a value of the company you can feel confident in.
Earnings Per Share is relatively inconsistent. Erratic earnings picture is a red flag that indicates a fiercely competitive industry with lots of booms and busts. During the bust part of the cycle, the stock price might fall significantly after a bad earnings performance. This creates the illusion of a value buying opportunity but it’s not. Also keep in mind if the company has had stock splits or reverse splits.

Inventory has been relatively inconsistent. Rise and falls, especially if they aren't aligned with earnings, is not what you want because it indicates a boom and bust cycle. The rise of inventory happens after a boom cycle and fall of inventory usually happens after the bust part of the cycle.
Property, Plant and Equipment has been pretty consistent. A stable PPE indicates that the company might not need to continuously reinvest into recreating their products, which might indicate the presence of a competitive advantage.
Goodwill is relatively inconsistent. Increasing Goodwill indicates that the company is out buying other companies at prices above their book value. This can be a good thing if it’s buying companies that have competitive advantages or it can be ignorable/bad if the acquired companies did not have competitive advantages.
Total Assets on average has been really high. This can be a competitive advantage because raising that much cash to compete with the business becomes much harder.
