A find tonight

The earnings in its last filed year are 13.7 percent of what the whole company costs, the free cash flow it filed is 24.1 percent of its market value, and sits at 5.4 on Altman's Z, clear of the distress band.

What stands out

  • Safety: sits at 5.4 on Altman's Z, clear of the distress band, which is better than 79 percent of the companies we rank in London Stock Exchange.
  • Price: the earnings in its last filed year are 13.7 percent of what the whole company costs, which is better than 94 percent of the companies we rank in London Stock Exchange.

What could make it a trap

  • None of the tests we hold fired against it: we checked Altman's Z, the five-year net margin trend, share count, Beneish's M, interest cover, debt to equity and the last year of price. That is the absence of a flag we look for and not a clean bill of health.
