Research path
How to test this valuation
A low valuation is a starting point. These checks show whether the earnings base, cash flow and completed price record support it.
Profitability, cash and balance sheet
Financial strength
The rank combines several company measures. The chart and figures below keep profitability, leverage and cash conversion visible separately.

Completed returns and variability
Price performance and risk
Returns show direction; volatility and drawdown show how uneven the path has been. Both are based on completed prices.
Current reading
The 12-month return excluding the latest month is 102%. Risk-adjusted price performance is 2.08, showing a high return relative to measured volatility. Near-term vol (115%) is expanding vs long-term (49%) — risk is increasing.

The company record needs stronger support before the valuation is relied upon.
