The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 13.94x 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 10.00x and 15.00x.

Today, against the Industrials sector (412 companies), 13.94x sits at the 23rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 15.04x to 38.40x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 18.5% in FY2026, in the band labelled "Strong" (15.0% to 25.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting high returns on shareholders' money, which leverage can also produce.

Today, against the Electrical Equipment & Parts industry (42 companies), 18.5% sits at the 88th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -52.4% to 9.0%.

Is it safe

Current ratio was 2.50 in FY2026, in the band labelled "At or above Graham's requirement" (2.00 and above), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria, suggesting short-term assets well above short-term obligations.

Today, against the Electrical Equipment & Parts industry (48 companies), 2.50 sits at the 54th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.55 to 4.92.

What this cannot tell you

  • 9 figures could not be read on this company, among them Debt to Equity, EV/EBIT, Return on Invested Capital. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 6 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
