Analysis Summary

Well now, it looks like FDS has managed to tick a good number of boxes for ol' Warren. That strong ROE and ROIC tell me they're good at putting capital to work, and a defensible moat is always something to get excited about. While the numbers point to a solid business, I'd still want to understand just *how* that moat is so wide, and whether that consistent growth is here to stay.
