To evaluate a US stock for long-term value investing, assess ROE continuity, debt safety, free cash flow quality, and economic moat strength to generate a final investment grade and actionable rationale.

Buffett-style stock analysis evaluates long-term value potential by translating qualitative business economic moats into quantitative scores across ROE continuity, debt safety, free cash flow quality, and moat strength dimensions.

Check debt safety and free cash flow quality during fundamental analysis by sourcing latest annual report data to compute debt-equity ratios and FCF quality, ensuring safe long-term holding potential.

You can apply this value investing framework to any US-listed company by providing a company name or ticker to initiate a structured four-dimension long-term hold suitability evaluation.

A limitation of using ROE analysis for stock value screening is that high ROE alone does not guarantee a strong economic moat, requiring combined debt-equity and free cash flow quality checks to avoid missing leverage risks.
