What the business is, what it costs, and how it reads on four questions.
Market dataSEC filingComputed
Return on invested capital, after tax
From the FY2024 filing
The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
Current ratio
From the FY2024 filing
Price to earnings
FY2024 accounts, priced at the latest close
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.
Free cash flow yield
FY2024 accounts, priced at the latest close
Free cash flow yield is -36.1% at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2024 figures; the lines are 2.0%, 5.0% and 8.0%, set by convention, and this sits below the lowest.
Today, against the Basic Materials sector (220 companies), -36.1% sits at the 9th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -7.0% to 4.4%.
Current ratio was 1.31 in FY2024, in the band labelled "Tight" (1.00 to 1.50), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria.
Today, against the Basic Materials sector (251 companies), 1.31 sits at the 19th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.42 to 3.59.
These are BAK’s filed figures. The research desk says what they mean, against peers and its own years, with what to check next.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2024, the newest full year on file. 9 filed fiscal years on record, FY2016 to FY2024, 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.
10 fiscal years, FY2015 to FY2024. 9 read from the annual reports Braskem S.A filed with the SEC, each naming its filing; the rest from statements that name none, which are market data. Amounts in BRL, as reported.

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.
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.
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.
Once a week, what changed in the filings of US-listed companies, why it can matter to a thesis, and what deserves a closer review. Grounded in filings, not market noise.
