Return profile is acceptable (ROE +9.0%, ROIC +15.7%).

Profitability stack: net margin +10.2%, ROE +9.0%, ROIC +15.7%.

Quality deterioration often appears in margins before it shows up in headline EPS.

Risk

Risk factors: liabilities/assets +87.0%, momentum -10.9%, net margin +10.2%.

Higher leverage with weak momentum and thin margins can amplify drawdown severity.
