Financials

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 1.25x depreciation and free cash flow yield is still positive, which fits a physical base that is being replaced or expanded without consuming all of its cash. EBITDA after capex covers debt service by 0.11x, which is below 1.

Fixed-asset turnover is 16.00x. Compare it with other names in the same basket.

Physical asset ratio
0.4%
Net PP&E plus inventory, divided by total assets. Above 50% is a heavy footprint.
Fixed asset turnover
16.00x
Revenue per dollar of the physical asset base.
Capex / D&A
1.25x
Above 1.0x means the physical base is being replaced or expanded.
Tangible book / share
$77.04
Assets minus goodwill, intangibles, and liabilities, per share.
Price / tangible book
1.57x
Price $121.32.
Fixed-charge coverage
0.11x
EBITDA minus capex, divided by interest plus short-term debt.
FCF yield
10.7%
Latest free cash flow divided by current market cap ($5.16B).
ROIC
1.9%
After-tax operating income over equity plus debt minus cash. Operating income / net PP&E is 1.91x.

  • 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.
  • Principal due is the current portion of debt.
