What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Fair value under review. The analyst targets sit too far from the price to cross-check it; our model's value is 2.26x the price, above our 2.00x limit. We show no fair value, margin of safety or value read built on it until the review clears.
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; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
