Strong Pricing Power over the past 10 years

MASI has maintained substantial gross margins, suggesting that they have been able to set prices without consideration of the cost of goods sold. This potentially leaves flexibility in inflationary environments to raise prices on consumers and maintain profitability.

$71.20 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

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

14.36% of Profits are being spent on Capital Expenditures, like Property, Plant, & Equipment, required to run the business.
