Fundamentals

Each ratio reads FY2025 figures against the latest price, graded so the quality shows at a glance.

P/E ratio Weak
46.0x

At 46x, the price is steep relative to profit; the stock leans heavily on growth that has yet to arrive.

Share price divided by earnings per share: what you pay for each $1 of yearly profit. Roughly 15 to 25 is typical, above 40 is richly priced, and negative means the company is losing money.

Dividend yield Fair
0.69%

A 0.7% yield is modest: a small income on top of whatever the share price does.

The yearly dividend as a percent of the share price: the cash income each share pays out. Around 2 to 6% is healthy; above roughly 8% often signals the payout may be cut.

Profit margin Fair
13.1%

A 13.1% margin is solid, in the ordinary range for a profitable company.

The share of revenue left as profit once every cost is paid. Above 15% is strong; below 5% leaves little cushion against a bad year.

Return on equity Strong
41.7%

A 41.7% return on equity is strong; the company compounds owners' capital well.

Profit earned on each dollar of shareholder equity: how well the company compounds its owners' capital. Above 15% is strong.

Return on assets Strong
9.0%

A 9.0% return on assets is strong; the company squeezes good profit from its assets.

Profit earned on each dollar of assets: how efficiently the whole asset base is used. Above 8% is strong.

Debt-to-equity Weak
3.62

At 3.62, the company leans heavily on borrowing, which adds risk if results weaken.

Total liabilities divided by shareholder equity: how heavily the company leans on borrowing. Below 1 is conservative; above 2 is highly leveraged.

Current ratio Fair
1.44

At 1.44, short-term assets cover short-term bills with a little room to spare.

Current assets divided by current liabilities: whether short-term resources cover short-term bills. Above 1.5 is comfortable; below 1 is tight.

Revenue growth Fair
+4.3%

Revenue grew 4.3% from the prior year: steady, modest expansion.

Change in annual revenue from the prior fiscal year: whether the top line is expanding. Above 10% is strong growth; below 0 means revenue is shrinking.

Earnings growth Weak
-17.7%

Net income fell 17.7% from the prior year; profit is shrinking.

Change in annual net income from the prior fiscal year: whether profit is expanding. Above 10% is strong; below 0 means profit is falling.
