What does JD Sports'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 JD.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 JD Sports scores well and where it falls behind.
What is JD Sports's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
JD Sports earns about 10.1% on its invested capital, which is solid.

Compare it to JD.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is JD Sports?+
JD Sports runs an operating margin of about 7.6% and a net margin of about 3.7%. Revenue has grown at roughly 10.3% 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.
