Exponent is an engineering and science consulting firm that solves technical problems for regulated industries. Exponent combines a very solid balance sheet (Net Debt/EBITDA 0.10) with exceptional profitability (ROE 31.20%, ROIC 28.90%) and double-digit growth (revenue +12%), although its demanding valuation (P/E 28.78) limits upside.
