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
Financial strength is high, but the valuation is also high. Continued business performance carries more of the case. Measured price variability is high and should be considered separately from the return figures.
Revenue growth with a moderate P/E
Revenue growth is 51% and the P/E ratio is 20 times earnings. Both figures should be checked against the company’s sector and reporting history.
Strong finances and price, higher valuation
Financial strength ranks 84/100 and price performance 99/100, while value ranks only 6/100.
Strong price performance, high variability
Price performance ranks 99/100, but one-year volatility is 201%. The price path has been less stable than the headline return.
Reported earnings have weaker cash support
Return on equity is 67%, but an accruals ratio of 0.213 suggests that reported earnings have less cash support.
Strong finances, higher valuation
Financial strength ranks 84/100 while value ranks 6/100. Future returns depend more heavily on continued business performance.
