Earnings Review · 23 October 2026
The print
Results are in but not yet verified against a primary source in our ledger; this review updates the moment the audited figures land. What does not change is our read below.
Did the flow confirm the move?
Money has been flowing IN underneath a flat-to-lower price: quiet accumulation, the kind of positioning that tends to show up before a name moves, not after. (21-day Chaikin Money Flow +0.05, five-day price change -0.9%, as of 2026-10-19, desk flow model).
Give the business its due
The business itself is genuinely strong: revenue growing about 16%, net margins near 12%, a strong competitive moat, backed by a 27% return on equity.
Levels that matter
At $87.62 the shares sit 18% below the 52-week high of $106.71 and 14% above the low of $76.86 (36% of the way up the range).
The valuation lens
Our fair-value work puts the shares about 41% below what the business is worth: value on offer. Fair value lands near $123 against a $87.34 share price, a margin of safety of about 41%. The trailing multiple sits around 32 times earnings, which only makes sense if the growth holds.
The ethical lens, our differentiator
Fails the principled screen, Business activity. A strong business is not the same as a suitable one; for a values-conscious book this is a do-not-chase regardless of the print.
The compliant alternative
There is no direct compliant equivalent in the same industry on our screen, the honest answer is to screen a step wider rather than reach for a false substitute.
The verdict for a values-conscious investor
A beat-and-raise does not change the screen. This is a great company you can admire without owning, protection first. One quarter, strong or soft, does not decide whether a holding is suitable.
This is analysis, not financial advice. Always manage your risk.
