The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 32.52x at the close of 2026-10-16 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 Real Estate sector (51 companies), 32.52x sits at the 86th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 5.24x to 20.39x.

Is it safe

Net debt to EBITDA was 2.42x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Moderate" (1.00x to 2.50x), on lines set by credit-analyst convention.

Debt to equityn/a
  • Shareholders' equity: The 2025 balance sheet files equity only as one total for the parent's shareholders and the minority holders together (1.38bn). The parent's share is not filed on its own, so equity, debt against equity and return on equity are left blank rather than divided by money that belongs to other owners.
  • Debt to equity: FY2025: No shareholders equity line is filed for this year.
  • Interest cover: FY2025: No interest expense is filed for this year, so coverage is not computed.

Read from the filed balance sheet for each year, with the income statement of the same year supplying operating profit where a ratio needs it. Nothing here is a view on whether this company is sound.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 10 filed fiscal years on record, FY2016 to FY2025, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 16, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 16, 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.

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 Debt to Equity, Positive Earnings Streak, P/B Ratio. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 11 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.
