The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 25.12x 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 Consumer Cyclical sector (302 companies), 25.12x sits at the 63rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 12.87x to 31.26x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 4.4% 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 Consumer Cyclical sector (436 companies), 4.4% sits at the 48th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -19.6% to 16.9%.

Is it safe

Current ratio was 1.17 in FY2025, in the band labelled "Tight" (1.00 to 1.50), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria.

Today, against the Consumer Cyclical sector (487 companies), 1.17 sits at the 35th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.02 to 2.26.

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.

ValueScreener · valuescreener.ai · Computed from accounts filed with the SEC by this company, read from EDGAR, and from dated closing prices. 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.

A computation on accounts filed with the SEC, not a recommendation and not advice. Past filings do not indicate future results. Risk disclaimer.

Once a week, what changed in the filings of US-listed companies, why it can matter to a thesis, and what deserves a closer review. Grounded in filings, not market noise.
