The Ethical Read
Why It Falls Short, in Plain English
Quest Resource's business is in a permissible area, but its interest-bearing debt is about 46% 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
Our model only; the analyst targets sit too far from the price to cross-check it.
Our analysis reads Fair vs our fair value, as of 3 Nov 2026: it trades above our $1.03 fair value estimate, none competitive moat.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-11-03 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 1.9% discount to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets. The average target sits +222% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
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.
