The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 38.40x 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 25.00x and 40.00x.

Today, against the Industrial - Machinery industry (52 companies), 38.40x sits at the 75th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 20.30x to 38.40x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 14.5% 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 Industrial - Machinery industry (44 companies), 14.5% sits at the 74th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 6.3% to 14.9%.

Is it safe

Debt to equity was 0.55 in FY2025, in the band labelled "Within Graham's industrial limit" (0.50 to 1.00), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria.

Today, against the Industrial - Machinery industry (52 companies), 0.55 sits at the 62nd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 0.24 to 0.69.

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

  • 4 figures could not be read on this company, among them Altman Z-Score, EV/EBITDA, Interest Coverage. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 1 named test comes 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.

On this page a filed figure opens into its formula, its inputs and the statement, fiscal year and filing date it was read from, and a price into the day of its close. A figure that cannot show that trail says so.
