A business making money today isn't necessarily a winner, which is why we analyze companies across multiple dimensions at StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here are three profitable companies to steer clear of and a few better alternatives. Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 4.5% With a strong presence in the Western US, Lithia Motors (NYSE:LAD) sells a wide range of vehicles, including new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, and luxury vehicles from various manufacturers. Why Are We Cautious About LAD? Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand Widely-available products (and therefore stiff competition) result in an inferior gross margin of 15.6% that must be offset through higher volumes 7× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings At $332.05 per share, Lithia trades at 9.1x forward P/E.
