The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 3.18x 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 Financial - Credit Services industry (43 companies), 3.18x sits at the 14th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 6.66x to 19.92x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was -5.0% 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 Financial Services sector (75 companies), -5.0% sits at the 7th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -0.5% to 9.4%.

Is it safe

Debt to equity was 0.14 in FY2025, in the band labelled "Conservative" (below 0.50), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria, suggesting a balance sheet that relies little on borrowing.

Today, against the Financial Services sector (80 companies), 0.14 sits at the 21st percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 0.21 to 1.42.

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.

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.

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.
