Fundamental quality
83
out of 100
Garmin Ltd fits the profile of a quality compounder: it pairs high return on capital (ROE 18.7%) with wide margins (net margin 23.3%) and a business that keeps growing (11.6% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 83 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +11.6%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Garmin makes specialized GPS devices: high-end sports watches, avionics for light aircraft, marine navigation and bike computers. It survived the death of the car navigator by reinventing itself as the brand for serious athletes and pilots.
