The business, and the score behind its five axes
The reading, in brief
- Is it cheap
Price to earnings is 22.04x at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2026 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 Industrials sector (412 companies), 22.04x sits at the 43rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 15.04x to 38.40x.
- Is it good
Return on invested capital was 13.6% in FY2026, 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 Industrials sector (316 companies), 13.6% sits at the 71st percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 3.4% to 15.3%.
- Is it safe
Interest coverage was 8.44x in FY2026, 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.
- Year by year against peers
- Whether EnerSys's return on invested capital stayed above the median of the Industrials sector, year by year. (FY2023 to FY2026, 4 fiscal years of EnerSys with a comparable figure)
- The direction
- Which way EnerSys's return on equity has moved, and how steadily. (FY2017 to FY2026, 10 filed years of EnerSys)
- What could explain it
- What in EnerSys's filed statements could explain the movements. (4 readings drawn from the statement lines EnerSys filed)
- In one paragraph
- One paragraph on EnerSys's returns, cash, balance sheet and price. (16 of sixteen figures read for EnerSys)

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2026, the newest full year on file. 15 filed fiscal years on record, FY2010 to FY2026, 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.

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.
What this cannot tell you
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.
