Analysis Summary

This ACIW appears to be a promising prospect, checking all nine of my boxes. I particularly like the strong ROE and ROIC, which suggest efficient capital deployment, and the solid 48.3% figure for the defensible moat, indicating a company with staying power in its industry. While the consistent growth is modest at 2.3%, the totality of the metrics points towards a company with sound fundamentals and a potentially durable competitive advantage.
