Frequently asked

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

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

What does IMI'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 IMI.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 IMI scores well and where it falls behind.

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

IMI earns about 17.7% 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 IMI.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is IMI?+

IMI runs an operating margin of about 18.3% and a net margin of about 13.5%. Revenue has grown at roughly 5.4% 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.
