ROE (TTM)152.02%
ROA (TTM)24.38%
Debt/Equity (MRQ)102.63

The company's financial health appears excellent. High ROE and strong ROA reflect highly efficient capital use. Note: ROE is materially amplified by leverage and share repurchases. Debt is elevated but represents structural leverage for shareholder return strategy (buybacks) rather than operational stress.
