What does PJT Partners'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 PJT'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. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where PJT Partners scores well and where it falls behind.
What is PJT Partners's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
PJT Partners earns about 49.4% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. 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 PJT's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is PJT Partners?+
PJT Partners runs an operating margin of about 21.0% and a net margin of about 10.6%. Revenue has grown at roughly 10.2% 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 SEC filings, not investment advice.
