The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 28.13x at the close of 2026-10-15 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 Specialty Retail industry (44 companies), 28.13x sits at the 53rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 15.54x to 47.91x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 42.1% 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 Consumer Cyclical sector (222 companies), 42.1% sits at the 95th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 3.6% to 14.8%.

Is it safe

Net debt to EBITDA was 0.27x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Low leverage" (below 1.00x), on lines set by credit-analyst convention, suggesting debt that a year or so of operating earnings would repay.
