Frequently asked

Is Halma (HLMA.XLON) a high-quality business?+

Halma 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. Recent figures include a 20.4% operating margin and a 13.7% return on invested capital.

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

What does Halma'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 HLMA.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 Halma scores well and where it falls behind.

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

Halma earns about 13.7% 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 HLMA.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is Halma?+

Halma runs an operating margin of about 20.4% and a net margin of about 14.4%. Revenue has grown at roughly 14.1% 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.
