The metric-by-metric breakdown is on this scorecard.

Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs profitability, returns on capital, revenue growth, and balance-sheet strength, using measures suited to banks, insurers and other financial companies (where free-cash-flow and operating-margin metrics do not apply), each computed from CAN's SEC 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 Canaan scores well and where it falls behind.

Canaan earns about -22.6% on its invested capital, which is weak. 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 CAN's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

Canaan runs an operating margin of about -21.2% and a net margin of about -39.7%. Revenue has grown at roughly 50.5% 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.
