The business, and the score behind its five axes
The reading, in brief
- Is it good
Return on equity was -5.4% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Likely below the cost of equity" (below 8.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns on shareholders' money below the usual cost of equity.
Today, against the Chemicals - Specialty industry (52 companies), -5.4% sits at the 35th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -11.1% to 13.8%.
- Is it safe
Net debt to EBITDA was 6.21x in FY2025, in the band labelled "High, covenant territory" (4.00x and above), on lines set by credit-analyst convention, suggesting debt in the range lenders write covenants around.
- Year by year against peers

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 10 filed fiscal years on record, FY2016 to FY2025, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 15, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 15, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.
The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.

- Revenue, compound annual growth FY2016 to FY2025: 7.5%
- Earnings: Earnings was not positive in both 2016 and 2025, so a compound rate across the window is not defined. Both figures are in the table.
- Earnings per share: Earnings per share was not positive in both 2016 and 2025, so a compound rate across the window is not defined. Both figures are in the table.
- Free cash flow, compound annual growth FY2016 to FY2025: 2.8%
Every figure in this section is a line of a filed annual statement or a ratio of two of them. Nothing here is estimated or smoothed. Earnings per share filed before a share split are put on today's share count, and say so. Nothing here is a verdict on the company.

The named tests
Of 30 tests value investors published: 1 met, 24 not met, 5 we could not complete. Counts, never a score: a single figure would have to decide that meeting one investor’s criteria and meeting another’s are worth the same.
Which tests, by name(all 30)
- Meets
- Cash-covered dividend
- Does not
- Defensive investor (Benjamin Graham); Deep value; Large cap, low P/E; High F-score, low P/B (Joseph Piotroski); Three forensic scores; Low PEG, low debt (Peter Lynch); High returns and growth; Gross margin, turnover (Robert Novy-Marx); EV/EBITDA and coverage; High yield, low payout; Dividends and buybacks; Low beta, profitable; Near the 52-week low; Z-score and coverage (Edward Altman); Two thirds of NCAV (Benjamin Graham); High returns, low debt; Owner earnings yield; High return on tangibles; Low P/S, rising earnings (James O'Shaughnessy); Book or below, low debt (Walter Schloss); Tangible book or below; Clean books, high ROIC; Cheapest quarter on P/B (David Dreman); Low P/E, growth, yield (John Neff)
- Not measured
- Earnings yield and ROIC (Joel Greenblatt); ROIC at or above WACC; P/E times P/B (Benjamin Graham); Cash-flow yield and ROIC; Cheapest quarter on P/E (David Dreman). A test with a figure we could not read is incomplete, never met and never failed.
Figures we could not read(9)
- P/E Ratio: Earnings are zero or negative, so a price to earnings multiple is not meaningful. A negative P/E is not a cheap company and a large positive one from a near-zero denominator is not an expensive one.
- EV/EBIT: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
- Return on Invested Capital: The filed income tax is outside 0 to 100% of pre-tax income (a tax benefit on a profit, a charge on a loss, or a charge above the profit), which is a one-off in the tax line and not a rate operating profit was taxed at, so after-tax operating profit is not computed.
- PEG Ratio: Earnings are zero or negative, so a price to earnings multiple is not meaningful. A negative P/E is not a cheap company and a large positive one from a near-zero denominator is not an expensive one.
- Eps Growth 5Y: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
- Interest Coverage: Operating income is zero or below, so there is no operating profit to cover the interest bill and coverage is not meaningful (n/m).
- Payout Ratio: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
- ROIC-WACC Spread: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
- Price To Graham: Earnings are zero or negative, so a price to earnings multiple is not meaningful. A negative P/E is not a cheap company and a large positive one from a near-zero denominator is not an expensive one.

Next step
What to do with what you have read.
A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.
What this cannot tell you
- 9 figures could not be read on this company, among them P/E Ratio, EV/EBIT, Return on Invested Capital. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 5 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.
Running this once is arithmetic on public documents and you are welcome to it. Writing down why you own each company, in your own words and with the numbers that have to stay true for it to hold, and then having those numbers re-checked every night against the newest filed accounts, and against the latest close where a rule watches a price, is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person. It writes to you the day one breaks, and stays quiet when nothing does. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.
No card. 30 free days, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
