Add signal contextConstructive when valuation, ROE/FCF, balance sheet, dividend safety, and catalysts point in the same direction.
Caution signalAvoid when multiple expansion is the only thesis, debt is heavy, FCF is weak, or data quality is too incomplete.
Valuation sanity check. Lower is not always better, but extreme multiples need stronger growth evidence.
Profitability and potential moat proxy for operating businesses.
Positive cash generation matters more than accounting story.
Balance-sheet pressure can break even a good growth story.
Useful for income investors, but must be paired with payout and cash-flow safety.
