The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 19.97x at the close of 2026-10-15 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 between 15.00x and 25.00x.

Today, against the Consumer Defensive sector (135 companies), 19.97x sits at the 48th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 13.84x to 33.63x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 12.3% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Above the cost of capital" (12.0% to 20.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.

Today, against the Consumer Defensive sector (102 companies), 12.3% sits at the 68th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 2.7% to 14.1%.

Is it safe

Net debt to EBITDA was 2.75x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Elevated" (2.50x to 4.00x), on lines set by credit-analyst convention.

No peer distribution is published for net debt to EBITDA today; the year-by-year comparison uses the filed annual figures.

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.

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.

More on this company

What this cannot tell you

  • 5 figures could not be read on this company, among them Interest Coverage, Dividend Yield, Payout Ratio. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 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.

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.
