Analysis Summary

This looks like a promising business. The consistent growth, robust returns on capital, and a rock-solid balance sheet, all coupled with a strong moat in financial services, are certainly attractive qualities. I'm particularly pleased to see a near-zero debt level, which offers a significant margin of safety in an unpredictable world.
