Asset-light

Physical assets are 5.3% of total assets, a light footprint. Capex is 0.57x depreciation while free cash flow yield is positive, which can mean an aging base that is still throwing off cash. ROIC is 34.9%, above an 8% cost-of-capital hurdle.

Technology and communication names are often asset-light, with fixed-asset turnover above 5x. This name is at 15.17x.

  • 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.
