  • SGA is relatively inconsistent, which can mean they face intense competition.
  • Avg. SGA is ≈101.26%, which is extremely high. The company can be massively under-prepared for a situation where sales drops quickly. They might not be able to reduce SGA costs quickly enough and/or reducing SGA costs quickly might have knock-on effects to revenue.
  • R&D as % of Gross Profit is 55.96% 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.

Assets & Liabilities

  • Company's without competitive advantage have an ever increasing amount of PPE, which is going also be accompanied by increasing Depreciation expenses. This is a bad because it eats into the profits of the company and indicates that the company likely needs to continuously reinvent their products. This could indicate they are facing fierce competition and a lack of a competitive advantage. It’s particularly worse if the increases in PPE investments are done using debt, rather than internal sources so check debt growth.
  • 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.
