The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 50.59x at the close of 2026-10-14 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 above the highest.

Today, against the Software - Infrastructure industry (73 companies), 50.59x sits at the 75th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 12.45x to 50.59x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 16.1% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Strong" (15.0% to 25.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting high returns on shareholders' money, which leverage can also produce.

Today, against the Software - Infrastructure industry (114 companies), 16.1% sits at the 75th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -25.7% to 16.2%.

Is it safe

Current ratio was 2.75 in FY2025, 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 - Infrastructure industry (129 companies), 2.75 sits at the 83rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.00 to 2.21.

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

  • 12 figures could not be read on this company, among them Debt to Equity, EV/EBIT, Return on Invested Capital. 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 7 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.
