Current comparison
Latest company comparison
The scores rank this company against other measured companies in the selected market. Open each section to check the figures behind them.
Current factor profile
Valuation and financial-strength measures both rank above most companies in the selected market. The completed price record is weak and does not support the other measures yet. Measured price variability is high and should be considered separately from the return figures.
Low valuation with strong finances
The company ranks at the 94th percentile for value and the 98th percentile for financial strength in this market.
Value supported by price performance
The value rank is 94/100 and the price-performance rank is 88/100. Both measures are above most companies in the selected market.
Revenue growth with a moderate P/E
Revenue growth is 112% and the P/E ratio is 9 times earnings. Both figures should be checked against the company’s sector and reporting history.
Strong price performance, high variability
Price performance ranks 88/100, but one-year volatility is 44%. The price path has been less stable than the headline return.

Current reading
The P/E ratio is 9.5 times earnings, which is low on the page’s valuation scale. Free-cash-flow yield is 8.2%, providing cash support for the valuation.
