The Ethical Read
Why It Falls Short, in Plain English
Live Ventures's business is in a permissible area, but its interest-bearing debt is about 712% of the company, well over the ~33% line, so it does not pass on the financial screens.

What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Fair value under review. There is no analyst estimate to cross-check it; our model's value is 18.02x 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.
