The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it good

Return on equity was -156.7% 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 Consumer Cyclical sector (436 companies), -156.7% sits at the 6th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -19.6% to 16.9%.

Is it safe

Current ratio was 0.71 in FY2025, in the band labelled "Short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets" (below 1.00), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria, suggesting short-term obligations above short-term assets.

Today, against the Consumer Cyclical sector (487 companies), 0.71 sits at the 13th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.02 to 2.26.

Year by year against peers: Whether Cango Inc.'s return on equity stayed above the median of the Consumer Cyclical sector, year by year. (FY2024 to FY2025, 2 fiscal years of Cango Inc. with a comparable figure)
The direction: Which way Cango Inc.'s gross margin has moved, and how steadily. (FY2016 to FY2025, 10 filed years of Cango Inc.)

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 8 filed fiscal years on record, FY2018 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.

Ten years of filed figures, year by year

Ten years of filed figures

10 fiscal years, FY2016 to FY2025. 8 read from the annual reports Cango Inc filed with the SEC, each naming its filing; the rest from statements that name none, which are market data. Amounts in the currency each report was stated in.

Revenue, compound annual growth FY2016 to FY2025: 5.2%
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: Fewer than two filed years carry earnings per share.
Free cash flow: Free cash flow was not positive in both 2016 and 2025, so a compound rate across the window is not defined. Both figures are in the table.

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, 19 not met, 10 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: Cheapest quarter on P/B (David Dreman)
Does not: Defensive investor (Benjamin Graham); Deep value; Large cap, low P/E; High F-score, low P/B (Joseph Piotroski); Three forensic scores; High returns and growth; Gross margin, turnover (Robert Novy-Marx); High yield, low payout; Dividends and buybacks; Low beta, profitable; Near the 52-week low; Z-score and coverage (Edward Altman); High returns, low debt; Owner earnings yield; High return on tangibles; Low P/S, rising earnings (James O'Shaughnessy); Tangible book or below; Cash-flow yield and ROIC; Clean books, high ROIC
Not measured: Earnings yield and ROIC (Joel Greenblatt); Low PEG, low debt (Peter Lynch); EV/EBITDA and coverage; ROIC at or above WACC; Two thirds of NCAV (Benjamin Graham); P/E times P/B (Benjamin Graham); Book or below, low debt (Walter Schloss); Cash-covered dividend; Cheapest quarter on P/E (David Dreman); Low P/E, growth, yield (John Neff). A test with a figure we could not read is incomplete, never met and never failed.

Figures we could not read(18)

Debt to Equity: 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.
Positive Earnings Streak: The latest filed year has no per-share earnings we can read; the test needs 10.
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: 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.
Return on Invested Capital: 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.
Altman Z-Score: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
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.
EV/EBITDA: EBITDA is zero or negative, so a multiple of it is not meaningful.
Interest Coverage: No interest expense is filed for this year, so coverage is not computed.
Dividend Yield: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Payout Ratio: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Share Count Change Yoy: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
ROIC-WACC Spread: 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.
Price To Ncav: 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.
Dividend Coverage Ratio: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Dividend Streak: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.

Next step

What to do with what you have read.

Value it in the DCF workbench

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

18 figures could not be read on this company, among them Debt to Equity, Positive Earnings Streak, P/E Ratio. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 10 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
We hold 8 filed fiscal years rather than 10, so the run above is shorter than a full decade and is counted as what it is.

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.
