FLRFluor Corporation
Is the business good?
More warning than reassurance: 3 of 9 health tests passed and margins compressing.
Weak, deteriorating fundamentals. Nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year health from the filings.
Operating margin has narrowed over the past few years, profitability per dollar of sales is eroding.
Where this answer is blind. The F-score rewards improvement, so an already-elite company can score mid-pack.
