Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 2025 Acquisitions Linksys Holdings, Inc. In 2021, we invested $160.0 million in cash for shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of Linksys for a 50.8% ownership interest in the outstanding equity of Linksys. On January 31, 2025 ( Linksys Acquisition Date ) , we acquired all of the remaining outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of Linksys for $20.8 million in cash and now own 100% of the outstanding equity of Linksys. Our pre-existing equity method investment in Linksys of 50.8% ownership interest was remeasured to the fair value of $21.5 million at the Linksys Acquisition Date, which resulted in a $10.8 million gain recorded in gain (loss) from equity method investments on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Therefore, the aggregate purchase consideration for Linksys equity equaling the fair value of the previously owned stock and the purchase price for the remaining stock acquired was $42.3 million. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Of the aggregate purchase price, $17.5 million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets acquired, and $64.7 million was allocated to other net assets acquired which predominantly included deferred tax asset of $45.8 million, inventory of $21.4 million, and cash of $8.8 million, offset by $11.3 million of net other assets and liabilities assumed. The excess of the fair values of the net assets acquired over the net purchase consideratio …
