Expenses

Gross Profit Margin is relatively consistent.
Avg. Gross Profit Margin is ≈76.11%, which is fantastically high. There is a good chance this business has strong competitive advantages. Be sure to make sure SGA, R&D, & Interest expenses are not eating up all the gross profits.

SGA is relatively inconsistent, which can mean they face intense competition.
Avg. SGA is ≈49.81%, 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 29.44% on average, which is low. Below 5% is very low and above 30% becomes high. The more a company has to invest into R&D, the more likely it's competitive advantages could be made obsolete 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.
Net Income / Total Revenues is 11.73% on average. This is good when it's above 10%. When comparing with competitors, the company with the highest ratio will likely be the one with the competitive advantage.
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.

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.
