Arbutus Biopharma earns about 69.7% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to ABUS's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is Arbutus Biopharma?+
Arbutus Biopharma runs an operating margin of about 82.0% and a net margin of about 84.2%. Revenue has grown at roughly 15.3% a year recently.
