What does Compass Group'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 CPG.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 Compass Group scores well and where it falls behind.

What is Compass Group's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+

Compass Group earns about 17.4% on its invested capital, which is strong. 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 CPG.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is Compass Group?+

Compass Group runs an operating margin of about 7.2% and a net margin of about 4.1%. Revenue has grown at roughly 17.7% 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.
