Loss Making Entity over the past 10 years

KID has been unable to maintain profitability. It's Costs of Sales have outstripped Revenue consistently. This is a huge red flag, unless the company has been investing heavily for the future. However, even that is dubious since accurately predicting the future of a company like that is extremely difficult.

$4.22 of every $100 of Revenue have been a loss, on average over the past 10 years.

Varying Pricing Power over the past 10 years

KID has maintained substantial gross margins, suggesting that they have been able to set prices without consideration of the cost of goods sold. However, there is a substantial variation in their Gross Profit Margins from year-to-year, which indicates inconsistent performance. Look at reasons for this inconsistency to determine the likelihood of future sustainability.

$45.63 of every $100 worth of sales have been Gross Profit, on average over the past 10 years.

Low Capital Intensity over the past 10 years

KID has consistently used a small portion of their Net Income buying new equipment or investing in new facilities. This indicates that KID may require minimal investment to stay competitive. This leaves them with extra money to spend on growing their business and potentially buying back stock.

24.37% of Profits are being spent on Capital Expenditures, like Property, Plant, & Equipment, required to run the business.
