The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 16.84x at the close of 2026-10-14 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 15.00x and 25.00x.

Today, against the Marine Shipping industry (33 companies), 16.84x sits at the 65th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 3.73x to 21.64x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 12.3% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Above the cost of capital" (12.0% to 20.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.

Today, against the Industrials sector (294 companies), 12.3% sits at the 64th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 4.0% to 15.3%.

Is it safe

Interest coverage was 73.50x 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.

Why n/a

Our archived statements for this filer carry no gross profit line, so there is nothing to compute a gross margin from and trace back to source. That may be because the filer presents no cost of revenue, or because we have not captured the concept. We do not guess which.

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.

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.

What this cannot tell you

  • One figure could not be read on this company: Gross Margin.

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.
