ENSGThe Ensign Group, Inc.
Is the business good?
The checks split: nothing decisive, though earnings fully cash-backed (1.7×).
Mixed fundamental signals. Nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year health from the filings.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash. Conversion is improving vs a year ago.
Profits are tracking sales roughly one-for-one, limited operating leverage either way.
A balanced mix of margins, efficiency, and leverage. ROE 15% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.
