The Ethical Read
Why It Clears, in Plain English
Ardmore Shipping clears all five screens. Its business is in a permissible area, its interest-bearing debt is about 16%, inside the ~33% line, and almost none of its income is interest, so it passes.

The Business, in Plain Words
Why it stands out
A 61%-growth business trading at just 6.8x forward earnings, with a none competitive moat. That is a 17% discount to our $23.25 fair value: the market is pricing it cautiously while the fundamentals argue otherwise.
Another profit measure, before interest, tax and non-cash costs: EBITDA.
The risks · The things to watch: it's a small-cap, so the share price can swing harder than the market; its business and earnings are exposed to Bermuda and to currency swings; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
