What does United-Guardian'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 UG's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment.

Open each metric on this page to see exactly where United-Guardian scores well and where it falls behind.
What is United-Guardian's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
United-Guardian earns about 15.4% 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 UG's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is United-Guardian?+
United-Guardian runs an operating margin of about 20.8% and a net margin of about 22.0%. Revenue has grown at roughly -0.8% 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.
