- Operating margin 19.0% TTM vs industry median 3.7% - 5x advantage with near-zero debt (0.002 D/E)[Operating Margin]
- FCF of 471M TTM (19% yield on revenue) funds 30M buybacks + 26M dividends while holding 179M cash[Free Cash Flow]
- Goodwill 631M is 25% of equity - manageable but watch for impairment given 2.2M charge TTM[Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets]
Watch Triggers
- EPS Growth 5yr: Turns positive above 5% — Would signal turnaround from -0.6% trajectory and justify multiple re-rating
- Gross Margin: Falls below 30% TTM — Currently 33.7% - compression would signal pricing pressure from OEMs
- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Impairment charge exceeds 50M — 631M intangibles at risk if auto demand weakens materially
