Analysis Summary

RPM looks like a solid operation, boasting impressive returns on equity and invested capital that suggest smart capital allocation. The company's competitive moat appears quite durable, and it's managing its debt prudently, all while operating in a straightforward industry. This combination of fundamental strength and a wide moat is the sort of thing that catches my eye for the long haul.
