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

  • Comfortable interest cover: operating profit covers interest about 5.2 times.
  • Return on equity is healthy at 15.1%.
  • Return on capital employed is moderate at 11.4%.
  • Net profit margin is 10.9%.
  • Has paid a dividend in each of the last 5 years on record.

!Watch-points

  • Higher leverage: debt-to-equity of 1.16 is above 1.
  • Current ratio of 0.6 is below 1, so current liabilities exceed current assets.

These points are generated automatically from the company’s reported figures to highlight what stands out. They are descriptive observations for educational purposes only — not advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold.
