CNXNPC Connection, Inc.
Is the business good?
The checks split: nothing decisive, though thin cash backing (0.5×).
Mixed fundamental signals. Nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year health from the filings.
Operating profit outpaces operating cash flow, watch accruals and working capital. Conversion is worsening vs a year ago.
Positive operating leverage, operating profit is growing faster than sales, so margins widen as the business scales.
Efficiency-driven, thin margins turned over fast (the retail model). ROE 10% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.

Where this answer is blind. The F-score rewards improvement, so an already-elite company can score mid-pack.
