Buffett analysis may be affected.
ROE dropped to 4.9% in a weak year. Buffett requires consistency - one bad year can reveal underlying vulnerability.
Net Income ÷ Shareholders' Equity × 100How much the company owes vs. what it owns
Debt-to-equity of 0.50 is 1.0x over Buffett's limit. High leverage increases risk during downturns.
Total Debt ÷ Shareholders' EquityProfit after production costs, before overhead
49.1% average margin is below the 40% standard. May indicate commodity-like business with weak pricing power.
(Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue × 100Short-term assets vs. short-term debts
Current ratio of 1.13 is below ideal 1.5. Adequate but limited cushion for unexpected expenses.
Current Assets ÷ Current LiabilitiesReal cash left after running the business
Positive cash generation. Company produces real cash after capital expenditures - can fund dividends, buybacks, or growth.
Operating Cash Flow - Capital ExpendituresProfit generated per $1 of capital invested in the business
3.6% ROIC is below the 8.5% threshold. Company may not be creating value above cost of capital.

Only 4/10 positive EPS years. Buffett requires predictable earnings he can forecast 5-10 years out.

Strong value. 7.3% earnings yield exceeds threshold, and Graham Number (14.8) indicates undervaluation.

Exceptional 70% margin of safety. Buying $1 of value for 50¢ or less.

Intrinsic Value = PV of 10-year growth period + PV of terminal value (perpetuity at 2.5% growth), discounted at Treasury rate + industry risk premium (6-9%).Annual Dividends per Share ÷ Stock Price × 100Track record of consistent dividend payments
Excellent track record. 10 years of consistent dividends through multiple market cycles.
