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.
Xylem Inc.
Physical assets are 12.1% of total assets, a light footprint. Capex is 0.64x depreciation while free cash flow yield is positive, which can mean an aging base that is still throwing off cash. ROIC is 8.0%, above an 8% cost-of-capital hurdle.
Energy, materials, and industrial names often turn net PP&E at about 1x to 3x. This name is at 7.80x.
Physical asset ratio
12.1%

Above 1.0x means the physical base is being replaced or expanded.

Price / tangible book
72.88x

- 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 short-term debt, the amount reported as due within a year.
