The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 38.87x 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 25.00x and 40.00x.

Today, against the Healthcare sector (223 companies), 38.87x sits at the 69th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 13.52x to 42.98x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 42.3% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Exceptional" (20.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns on the capital in the business well above the usual cost of that capital.

Today, against the Healthcare sector (233 companies), 42.3% sits at the 96th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -37.4% to 12.8%.

Is it safe

Current ratio was 1.14 in FY2025, in the band labelled "Tight" (1.00 to 1.50), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria.

Today, against the Medical - Diagnostics & Research industry (52 companies), 1.14 sits at the 17th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.29 to 3.67.

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.

More on this company

What this cannot tell you

  • 12 figures could not be read on this company, among them Debt to Equity, P/B Ratio, Altman Z-Score. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 8 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.

ValueScreener · valuescreener.ai · Computed from accounts filed with the SEC by this company, read from EDGAR, and from dated closing prices.
