What does Carl Zeiss Meditec's quality score measure?+

What is Carl Zeiss Meditec's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+

Carl Zeiss Meditec earns about 7.3% on its invested capital, which is modest. 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.

How profitable is Carl Zeiss Meditec?+

Carl Zeiss Meditec runs an operating margin of about 8.9% and a net margin of about 5.5%. Revenue has grown at roughly 7.8% a year recently.
