SGA is relatively consistent
Avg. SGA is ≈41.07%, 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 3.95% on average, which is very low. This can indicate that the business does not need to reinvent it's products in order to maintain it's competitive advantage(s) if it has them.

The tax rate (Income Tax Paid / Pretax Income) is 45.19% on average, which is well above the 21% corporate tax rate. It might be worth trying to understand what's going on.
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 16.93% 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.

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 consistent. If Goodwill stays the same year after year, it’s because it’s paying under book value for companies it’s purchasing or because it’s not purchasing other companies.
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.
