Watch Triggers
- Operating Margin TTM: Falls below 4.0% or recovers above 5.5% — Currently 4.5% at industry median; direction signals turnaround success or further deterioration
- ROIC TTM: Rises above 7% (industry median) or falls below 4% — At 5.1% TTM, capital allocation destroying value; improvement needed to justify expansion
- Debt to Equity: Exceeds 2.5x or debt reduction accelerates — At 2.0x with 244M interest expense; leverage limits strategic flexibility
