What does Burlington Stores'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 BURL's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment.

What is Burlington Stores's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
Burlington Stores earns about 9.2% 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 BURL's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is Burlington Stores?+
Burlington Stores runs an operating margin of about 7.7% and a net margin of about 5.8%. Revenue has grown at roughly 14.9% 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 SEC filings, not investment advice.
