The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 29.29x 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 Industrials sector (412 companies), 29.29x sits at the 61st percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 14.79x to 38.17x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 25.5% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Exceptional, check the leverage" (25.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting high returns on shareholders' money, which leverage can also produce.

Today, against the Industrials sector (643 companies), 25.5% sits at the 88th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -15.6% to 15.8%.

Is it safe

Debt to equity was 0.87 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 Industrials sector (396 companies), 0.87 sits at the 60th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 0.32 to 1.25.

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

  • 7 figures could not be read on this company, among them EV/EBIT, Return on Invested Capital, Altman Z-Score. 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.

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.
