SGA is relatively inconsistent, which can mean they face intense competition.
Avg. SGA is ≈68.45%, 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 32.61% 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.

The tax rate (Income Tax Paid / Pretax Income) is 60.73% 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.
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.
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.

Return on Shareholders' Equity has been -2049.84%, 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.
