    Weak Balance Sheet

    RT's financial position is not ideal. The key is to check whether RT is using debt to fuel its growth and the sustainability of that tendency. Highly capital intensive businesses (see Economic Moat) follow this route, which can deeply impact the future prospects of the business.

    Low or No Reinvestment of Profits over the past 10 years

    RT has either been retaining a small amount of their earnings or has done so inconsistently. A lack of consistency could be due to RT operating at a loss or them having such a strong economic moat they feel comfortable spending profits on growth. Be wary of future prospects and if applicable, inspect the moat's sustainability.
