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 0.06.
  • Comfortable interest cover: operating profit covers interest about 11.5 times.
  • Net profit margin is strong at 20.3%.
  • Current assets comfortably cover current liabilities (current ratio 1.73).

!Watch-points

  • Return on equity is on the lower side at 4.2%.
  • Return on capital employed is on the lower side at 3.4%.

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.
