What to look at in Consumer Cyclical companies
- 5y avg operating margin (Cycle average) — Look at the cycle average, not the current year (peak or trough).
- Inventory turnover (>=4x/year) — Healthy retail rotates inventory fast. A drop signals weak demand.
- 5y avg ROIC (>=12%) — Cyclicals with avg ROIC >12% are structural winners.
- Net debt / EBITDA (peak) (<3x trough) — In cyclicals debt kills in recessions.
- Current Ratio (>1.5x) — Survives 12-18 months without operating cash.
- Altman Z-Score (>2.99 safe) — Bankruptcy model — key in cyclicals sensitive to recessions.
