What This Measures

Intangible/Asset — a lower ratio suggests the company's value is backed by tangible assets rather than goodwill or intangibles, reducing balance sheet risk.

R&D/Sales — captures the proportion of revenue reinvested into research and development, indicating innovation intensity and future growth investment.
