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

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 GD'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.

General Dynamics earns about 13.5% on its invested capital, which is solid. 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 GD's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

General Dynamics runs an operating margin of about 10.4% and a net margin of about 8.2%. Revenue has grown at roughly 6.7% 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.
