Overview

Market dataComputed
Four questions, at a glance
Quality
Return on invested capital, after tax
n/mComputed
From the FY2025 filing
Why n/m
Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.
The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Price to earnings is 3.60x 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 below the lowest.
Today, against the Real Estate sector (51 companies), 3.60x sits at the 6th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 5.24x to 20.39x.

A property trust presents an unclassified balance sheet: buildings are long-lived assets and mortgage debt is drawn against them, so there is no split between current and non-current for a current ratio to divide. Look at net debt to EBITDA and interest coverage instead.

n/a
Shareholders' equity: The 2025 balance sheet files equity only as one total for the parent's shareholders and the minority holders together (388m). The parent's share is not filed on its own, so equity, debt against equity and return on equity are left blank rather than divided by money that belongs to other owners.
Debt to equity: FY2025: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.

Figures we could not read(27)
Current Ratio: A property trust presents an unclassified balance sheet: buildings are long-lived assets and mortgage debt is drawn against them, so there is no split between current and non-current for a current ratio to divide. Look at net debt to EBITDA and interest coverage instead.
Debt to Equity: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
Positive Earnings Streak: We hold 6 profitable filed years in a row; the test needs 10.
P/B Ratio: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.

EV/EBIT: Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash. For a financial company both are the business itself, so the resulting multiple has no economic meaning.
Return on Invested Capital: Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.

Gross Margin: No gross profit line is filed for this year.
Asset Turnover: A lender's assets are loans and securities that earn interest, not plant used to produce sales. Revenue over assets is not a turnover measure here.
EV/EBITDA: Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash. For a financial company both are the business itself, so the resulting multiple has no economic meaning.
Interest Coverage: Interest is what a lender pays for its inventory of money, not a financing charge sitting below the operating line. Interest coverage is not defined for lenders.
Dividend Yield: The filed share count no longer matches today's share, after a split or new shares since the fiscal year, so the two do not compare.
Payout Ratio: A mortgage REIT distributes out of distributable earnings, a non-GAAP figure defined differently by each issuer and not tagged in XBRL. We will not approximate it.
Free Cash Flow Yield: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
ROIC-WACC Spread: Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.
Price To Ncav: Net current asset value needs current assets, which an unclassified balance sheet does not report.
Price To Graham: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Owner Earnings Yield: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Capex To Ocf: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
