Analysis Summary

Well now, this MSA outfit looks rather interesting. They're certainly printing money with that 22.9% ROE and a respectable 12.5% ROIC – that's good, folks. The moat appears sturdy at 46.5%, and my, what a lovely bit of consistent growth they've demonstrated. Honestly, seeing this many boxes checked, it's hard not to take a closer look.
