The Ethical Read
Why It Falls Short, in Plain English
Consensus Cloud Solutions's business is in a permissible area, but its interest-bearing debt is about 86% of the company, well over the ~33% line, so it does not pass on the financial screens.

The Business, in Plain Words
Why it stands out
A 2%-growth business trading at just 5.9x forward earnings, with a none competitive moat. That is a 13% discount to our $42.00 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; it already moves more than the market on an average day; it carries a real debt load, which raises the stakes if revenue slips.
