What does Robert Walters's quality score measure?+

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

Robert Walters earns about -5.6% on its invested capital, which is weak.

How profitable is Robert Walters?+

Robert Walters runs an operating margin of about -1.9% and a net margin of about -3.4%. Revenue has grown at roughly -5.3% a year recently.
