Price
Reading the stored fundamentals…
Dated 52-week rows are the highest and lowest CLOSE and the day each happened, which sits a little inside the intraday range a vendor quotes. Quotes are refreshed once a night — during a session the price above is the previous close.
Is the price low against peers, cash flow and analyst targets?
Do analysts expect earnings and revenue to keep growing?
Only 2 of 6 checks could be assessed because too few analysts cover it, the figures they need are not meaningful here and there is no analyst coverage stored; 4 are needed.
Has the business grown and earned good returns on its filed numbers?
Can the balance sheet carry its debt?
Is the dividend decent, covered and steady?
An axis marked n/a has no vertex: it is left out of the shape rather than drawn as zero.
Each axis asks six plain questions of the stored data. A check that passes counts one. A check the stored data cannot answer is left out of the count, never counted as a fail, and an axis needs four answerable checks to show a result. Axes are never added together: there is no overall score. The thresholds are conventional rules of thumb and are blunt across sectors, so each check is listed with its rule and the figure it used.
P/E below peers
Trailing P/E is positive and below the median of its peers: the companies in its industry if there are at least 5, else its sector if at least 10, else the whole market if at least 30, always in the same currency.
Loss-making over the last twelve months, so there is no P/E to compare.
