The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 8.36x 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 below the lowest.

Today, against the Consumer Cyclical sector (302 companies), 8.36x sits at the 11th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 12.87x to 31.26x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 4.2% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Likely below the cost of capital" (below 8.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns below the usual cost of the capital employed.

Today, against the Consumer Cyclical sector (222 companies), 4.2% sits at the 29th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 3.6% to 14.8%.

Is it safe

Net debt to EBITDA was 2.56x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Elevated" (2.50x to 4.00x), on lines set by credit-analyst convention.

No peer distribution is published for net debt to EBITDA today; the year-by-year comparison uses the filed annual figures.

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

  • 10 figures could not be read on this company, among them Positive Earnings Streak, PEG Ratio, Eps Growth 5Y. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 3 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
  • We hold 9 filed fiscal years rather than 10, so the run above is shorter than a full decade and is counted as what it is.

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.

Analyze your own portfolio

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.
