I love these "quick-hit" or "quick-check" ratio checklists. They enable us to get a feel for the state of a company. From there we can decide to dig deeper or to pass on it. 👍

I get hung up on the denominator in the ROIC calculation. How do we define "invested capital"? This isn't something we can directly find listed on a balance sheet. The number must be calculated. It seems to be a little different for different companies, depending on their business model.

Is there a summary somewhere that collects the different ways to calculate "invested capital" for different business models?

Awesome list! Understanding FCF Yield and applying it to my own analysis has transformed the way I value companies over the years.
