Capital Intensity
Score how much of a company is physical plant, inventory, and equipment, whether that base is being maintained, and whether the shares have tangible backing.
BlackRock, Inc.
Banks, insurers, and other financials hold few plants and little inventory, so a physical-asset screen is a poor fit. The ratios below are still the latest annual figures. Capex is 0.33x depreciation while free cash flow yield is positive, which can mean an aging base that is still throwing off cash. That coverage ratio uses interest only, because short-term debt was not on the balance sheet.
Fixed-asset turnover is 7.74x. Compare it with other names in the same basket.
Physical asset ratio
1.8%
Net PP&E plus inventory, divided by total assets. Above 50% is a heavy footprint.
Fixed asset turnover
7.74x
Revenue per dollar of the physical asset base.
Capex / D&A
0.33x
Above 1.0x means the physical base is being replaced or expanded.
Tangible book / share
-€11.02
Assets minus goodwill, intangibles, and liabilities, per share.

- Inventory was missing and treated as zero in the physical asset ratio.
- Receivables are larger than the physical asset base, so a finance or credit book may sit outside the physical ratio and inside the debt used for coverage.
- Fixed-charge coverage is EBITDA minus capex, divided by interest. Short-term debt was not reported, so principal due is left out.
