The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English

This security has not been fully scored against the values screen yet.

  • Business activity Its core business isn't built on prohibited lines — no gambling, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or interest-based lending. Pass
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is of its assets, above the one-third ceiling the screen allows. Fail
  • Interest-bearing cash Interest-bearing cash and securities are of assets, above the one-third limit. Fail
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is of assets, above the 49% limit. Fail
  • Revenue purity of revenue comes from non-compliant sources, over the 5% line. Fail

Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.

The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean

Clinical Stage Drug Developer Fails Basic Screen

A company chasing new antibodies for psoriasis sounds promising until the numbers arrive. Oruka sits at a 93 dollar share price against our 141 dollar fair value, yet forward earnings sit at minus 37 times with zero profit margin and return on equity of minus 27 percent. The ethical screen returns insufficient data, which alone ends the conversation for us.

We pass because no workable financial ratios exist to judge durability or governance. Analyst targets cluster near 142 dollars on a strong buy consensus, but that optimism rests on future trial success that has not yet produced cash or earnings. Unknown competitive edge adds another layer of opacity.

Risks centre on typical early stage biotech outcomes: trial failure, dilution, and total loss of capital. Currency and sector swings matter less here than the simple absence of usable data. Analysis, not advice.
