Price to earnings is 18.76x at the close of 2026-10-14 on FY2026 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 Software - Application industry (100 companies), 18.76x sits at the 32nd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 14.89x to 49.54x.
Return on equity was 12.4% in FY2026, in the band labelled "Ordinary" (8.0% to 15.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.
Today, against the Software - Application industry (195 companies), 12.4% sits at the 73rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -40.8% to 13.6%.
Current ratio was 2.24 in FY2026, in the band labelled "At or above Graham's requirement" (2.00 and above), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria, suggesting short-term assets well above short-term obligations.
Today, against the Software - Application industry (215 companies), 2.24 sits at the 64th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.04 to 3.36.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2026, the newest full year on file. 15 filed fiscal years on record, FY2011 to FY2026, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 14, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 14, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.
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.
10 filed fiscal years, FY2017 to FY2026, read from the annual reports ePlus inc filed with the SEC. Each year names its filing. Amounts in USD, as filed.

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.
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. On this page a filed figure opens into its formula, its inputs and the statement, fiscal year and filing date it was read from, and a price into the day of its close. A figure that cannot show that trail says so.
A computation on accounts filed with the SEC, not a recommendation and not advice. Past filings do not indicate future results. Risk disclaimer.
Once a week, what changed in the filings of US-listed companies, why it can matter to a thesis, and what deserves a closer review. Grounded in filings, not market noise.
