Price Chart

Price50-day avg200-day avg

How to read this: the line is the closing price over time. The two dashed lines are moving averages — the average price over the last 50 and 200 trading days — which smooth out daily noise to show the broader trend. Price above its moving averages reflects recent strength; below reflects recent weakness. Use the buttons to change the time range. Prices are end-of-day, not live.

Strengths

  • Low debt: debt-to-equity of 0.14.
  • Comfortable interest cover: operating profit covers interest about 3.1 times.
  • Net profit margin is strong at 21.7%.
  • Has paid a dividend in each of the last 5 years on record.

!Watch-points

  • Return on equity is on the lower side at 9.5%.
  • Return on capital employed is on the lower side at 5.9%.
  • Current ratio of 0.46 is below 1, so current liabilities exceed current assets.
