The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 74.21x at the close of 2026-11-12 on FY2025 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits above the highest.

Today, against the Semiconductors industry (51 companies), 74.21x sits at the 64th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 31.27x to 97.03x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 28.4% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Exceptional, check the leverage" (25.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting high returns on shareholders' money, which leverage can also produce.

Today, against the Semiconductors industry (92 companies), 28.4% sits at the 89th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -7.8% to 13.4%.

Is it safe

Interest coverage was 7.94x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Comfortable" (6.00x and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's interest-coverage table, suggesting an interest bill operating profit covers many times over.

What changed

SEC filingCompany statement

The newest accounts on file are the FY2025 annual report: 10-K, filed Dec 18, 2025, accession 0001730168-25-000121.

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

  • 3 figures could not be read on this company: Return on Invested Capital, ROIC-WACC Spread, Price Tangible Book. 2 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.

Then we check your line against newly filed data and write to you the night our data shows it broke. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published. It is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person.

No card. 30 free days, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.

ValueScreener · valuescreener.ai · Computed from accounts filed with the SEC by this company, read from EDGAR, and from dated closing prices. On this page a filed figure opens into its formula, its inputs and the statement, fiscal year and filing date it was read from, and a price into the day of its close. A figure that cannot show that trail says so.

A computation on accounts filed with the SEC, not a recommendation and not advice. Past filings do not indicate future results. Risk disclaimer.
