The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 33.20x 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 Basic Materials sector (124 companies), 33.20x sits at the 71st percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 15.03x to 34.97x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 8.6% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Around the cost of capital" (8.0% to 12.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.

Today, against the Basic Materials sector (99 companies), 8.6% sits at the 55th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.5% to 12.9%.

Is it safe

Interest coverage was 12.29x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Comfortable" (6.00x and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's interest-coverage table, suggesting an interest bill operating profit covers many times over.

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

  • 2 figures could not be read on this company: PEG Ratio, Owner Earnings Yield. 1 named test comes 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.
