Competitive analysis based on 46 quarters of fundamental data

Data-driven red flags and warnings across 46 quarters

FCF covers net income by 1.2x on average — earnings are well-supported by cash generation.
D/E ratio is 3.5 — dangerously high. The company is heavily leveraged and vulnerable to rising rates or cash flow dips.
