Analysis Summary

Well now, looking at AWI, it seems we've got a real winner on our hands. A fantastic ROE and ROIC tell me management's putting those owner's dollars to work effectively, and that moat, a sturdy 40.5%, suggests they've got something special that the competition can't easily replicate. With a clean balance sheet and consistent growth, this looks like the kind of wonderful company at a fair price we should all be paying attention to.
