BBWBuild-A-Bear Workshop, Inc.
Is the business good?
A genuinely good business: margins widening and elite returns on assets.
Operating margin has widened over the past few years, the business is getting more profitable per dollar of sales.
High-quality, exceptional returns on the assets themselves, not leverage. ROE 35% = margin × turnover × leverage.
All from derived.
Where this answer is blind. The F-score rewards improvement, so an already-elite company can score mid-pack.
