Williams-Sonoma earns about 32.4% 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 WSM's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is Williams-Sonoma?+
Williams-Sonoma runs an operating margin of about 19.2% and a net margin of about 14.7%. Revenue has grown at roughly 2.9% 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.
