Expenses
- Gross Profit Margin is relatively consistent.
- Avg. Gross Profit Margin is ≈33.63%, which isn't terrible if it's operational expenses are low. Gross Profit Margin is ideal when it's closer to 60%.

- SGA is relatively consistent
- Avg. SGA is ≈26.77% of Gross Profits, which is great. R&D and Interest Expense should be checked to ensure the good economics isn't getting destroyed through a different mechanism.
- R&D as % of Gross Profit is 12.41% 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.

Income/Loss
- 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 9.17% on average. It's bad sign when it's below 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.

Assets & Liabilities
- 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 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.

Stock Issuance & Repurchase
- Return on Shareholders' Equity has been 3.18%, 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.
