The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 14.47x at the close of 2026-10-16 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 10.00x and 15.00x.

Today, against the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production industry (48 companies), 14.47x sits at the 45th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 10.93x to 26.51x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 17.0% 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 Energy sector (108 companies), 17.0% sits at the 88th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 2.6% to 11.9%.

Is it safe

Net debt to EBITDA was 0.17x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Low leverage" (below 1.00x), on lines set by credit-analyst convention, suggesting debt that a year or so of operating earnings would repay.

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

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.

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

  • 9 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. 7 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
  • We hold 8 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.
