VRSKVerisk Analytics
Is the business good?
A genuinely good business: earnings fully cash-backed (1.3×), margins widening, and elite returns on assets.
Mixed fundamental signals. Nine pass/fail tests of year-over-year health from the filings.
Operating profit is fully backed by cash.
Positive operating leverage, operating profit is growing faster than sales, so margins widen as the business scales.
High-quality, exceptional returns on the assets themselves, not leverage. ROE 189% = margin × turnover × leverage.
Unless marked, from derived.
Against the whole market›
Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. The F-score rewards improvement, so an already-elite company can score mid-pack.
