Frequently asked

Is Air Liquide (AI.XPAR) a high-quality business?+

Air Liquide scores 35 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which rates it a lower-quality business on these measures. Recent figures include a 19.4% operating margin and a 9.7% return on invested capital. Quality and price are separate questions: even a great business can be a poor investment if you overpay, so read this score alongside the valuation. The metric-by-metric breakdown is on this scorecard.

What does Air Liquide's quality score measure?+

Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from AI.XPAR's company filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where Air Liquide scores well and where it falls behind.

What is Air Liquide's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+

Air Liquide earns about 9.7% 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. Compare it to AI.XPAR's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is Air Liquide?+

Air Liquide runs an operating margin of about 19.4% and a net margin of about 13.5%. Revenue has grown at roughly 3.7% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score. This is analysis from company filings, not investment advice.
