Varying Competitive Advantage over the past 10 years

EQY likely has a competitive advantage which prevents other companies from entering or competing in their industry. However, there is a substantial variation in their Net Profit Margins from year-to-year, which indicates inconsistent performance. Look at reasons for this inconsistency to determine the likelihood of future sustainability.

$32.69 of every $100 of Revenue have been pure profit, on average over the past 10 years.

Weak Pricing Power over the past 10 years

EQY is likely in a highly competitive industry, due to low barriers to entry. It's because of this, that EQY has been unable to raise prices and increase their profitability. This puts them in a poor position if inflation becomes an issue, as they would struggle to pass higher costs onto consumers.

Only $- of every $100 worth of sales have been Gross Profit, on average over the past 10 years.

High Capital Intensity over the past 10 years

EQY spends large amounts of capital buying new equipment or investing in new facilities to stay competitive. Over the long term, those costs may have to be fuelled by debt. Look at the growth of Shareholders' Equity to see if this strategy is having a positive or negative impact.

278.16% of Profits are being spent on Capital Expenditures, like Property, Plant, & Equipment, required to run the business.
