Frequently asked

Is Capricorn Energy (CNE.XLON) a high-quality business?+

Capricorn Energy scores 73 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which rates it a solid business on these measures.

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

What does Capricorn Energy'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 CNE.XLON'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 Capricorn Energy scores well and where it falls behind.

What is Capricorn Energy's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+

Capricorn Energy earns about 2.9% 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 CNE.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is Capricorn Energy?+

Capricorn Energy runs an operating margin of about 12.0% and a net margin of about 14.0%. Revenue has grown at roughly 20.5% 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.
