Key ratios & quality

PEG uses trailing P/E against the 3-year net income growth rate (2.36%/yr) since forward earnings estimates aren't available here, so this is not a "forward PEG." Altman Z-Score below ~1.8 suggests financial distress risk, above ~3.0 suggests low risk; the model is most reliable for industrial/manufacturing companies and less meaningful for banks and other financial firms.

  1. china exposure is the risk everyone brings up but the order book outside china looks healthy on its own. equipment names always lag the chip names at turns, worth remembering that.
