What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Fair value under review. Its inputs are 115 days old; only one analyst covers it, too few to cross-check it. 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.
