Earnings are zero or negative, so a price to earnings multiple is not meaningful. A negative P/E is not a cheap company and a large positive one from a near-zero denominator is not an expensive one.

The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Free cash flow yield is 47.8% at the close of 2026-10-14 on FY2026 figures; the lines are 2.0%, 5.0% and 8.0%, set by convention, and this sits above the highest.

Today, against the Education & Training Services industry (37 companies), 47.8% sits at the 89th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -23.3% to 11.1%.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was -17.6% in FY2026, in the band labelled "Likely below the cost of capital" (below 8.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns below the usual cost of the capital employed.

Today, against the Consumer Defensive sector (98 companies), -17.6% sits at the 7th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 2.7% to 13.7%.

Is it safe

Current ratio was 0.98 in FY2026, in the band labelled "Short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets" (below 1.00), on lines anchored on Graham's defensive-investor criteria, suggesting short-term obligations above short-term assets.

Today, against the Education & Training Services industry (39 companies), 0.98 sits at the 31st percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 0.86 to 2.20.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2026, the newest full year on file. 6 filed fiscal years on record, FY2019 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.

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

  • 16 figures could not be read on this company, among them Debt to Equity, P/B Ratio, P/E Ratio. 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.
  • We hold 6 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.
