The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it good

Return on equity was -1.5% 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 Internet Content & Information industry (53 companies), -1.5% sits at the 39th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -15.4% to 8.9%.

Is it safe

DouYu International Holdings Limited held more cash than debt at the end of FY2025 (net cash of 1.8bn CNY), so net debt to EBITDA is a net cash position rather than a leverage reading.

Why n/a

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.

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.

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.

More on this company

What this cannot tell you

  • 13 figures could not be read on this company, among them Positive Earnings Streak, P/E Ratio, EV/EBIT. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 8 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
  • We hold 9 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.

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