Heavy & maintained

Physical assets are 64.8% of total assets, a heavy footprint. 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. ROIC is 42.9%, 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 1.14x.
