I know ROP is used as a benchmark for the toyota production system deployment. If they are truly using the principles developed by Toyota, they will have an advantage flexing down and back up as the economy changes. Look for continued strong performance even as volumes decline. Already we see evidence this is true since the dividend was hiked during this catastrophe of the overall economy.

This company has only been able to stay alive through buying it's competition. You can only take that strategy so far in this slow economy. That said, the only way they continue to be outperforming is to continue downsizing, closing offices (PA Office, OH Office) and underpaying staff. I expect that the market will catch up as consumption of goods continue to slow. This one is gonna go with oil costs. More R&D will be needed to become more green and compete.

Reasonable debt to equity, good eps growth, good revenue growth, consistently profitable. Potential growth stock and it offers a dividend. Best of both worlds.

ROE = 14.8%, PM = 11.54%, OM = 20.4%, price-to-book = 3.35 very little debt, no cash flow problem. They all look good to me.
