SGA is relatively inconsistent, which can mean they face intense competition.
Avg. SGA is ≈32.82%, 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 24.86% 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.

The tax rate (Income Tax Paid / Pretax Income) is 5.85% on average, which is well below the 21% corporate tax rate. It might be worth trying to understand what's going on.

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.
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.

Return on Shareholders' Equity has been 2.3%, which is low (<10%). If Net Income as percentage of Total Revenue also weak (<10%) or negative, it’s a red flag. If it's strong (>10%), it's a green flag since this indicates that they are returning the earnings to shareholders somehow.
