Frequently asked

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

Recent figures include a -3.3% operating margin and a -2.8% return on invested capital.

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

What does NCC 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 NCC.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 NCC Group scores well and where it falls behind.

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

NCC Group earns about -2.8% on its invested capital, which is weak. 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 NCC.XLON's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.

How profitable is NCC Group?+

NCC Group runs an operating margin of about -3.3% and a net margin of about 7.2%. Revenue has grown at roughly -4.1% 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.
