Fundamental Health Check
Does it earn a solid return on the money it lends?
Consistently keeps a healthy share of sales as profit.
Does it hold enough of its own capital to absorb bad loans?
Carries meaningful debt worth watching.
Banking Nuance: Banks take customer deposits as liabilities to fund loans. High debt here is standard business, not a warning sign.
Is the price reasonable compared to its earnings?
Priced modestly compared with its profits.
