Total shares institutions bought (green) vs sold (red) each quarter across all holders.
Inferred from quarter-over-quarter change in each fund's 13F position (new stakes count as buys, exits as sells). Not tick-level trades.
Ranked against 19 sector peers with collected financials. Valuation from latest close × latest fiscal-year fundamentals; 13F conviction as of 2026-09-30.
Percentile is “goodness” within the peer set (100 = best). For valuation and leverage that means cheaper / less-levered ranks higher.

Peers = companies sharing DAC's sector (Deep Sea Foreign Transportation of Freight) with collected SEC financials. Multiples use the most recent end-of-day close and latest fiscal-year fundamentals (trailing, not forward). Missing cells mean the peer never reported that line item, has no collected price, or has a non-positive denominator. Not investment advice.
Solve the discounted cash flow backwards, then stress-test the assumptions.
Average free cash flow across the last 3 positive fiscal years (FY2023, FY2024, FY2025). Smooths the cycle. Stock compensation is NOT charged — it is added back inside operating cash flow.
To be worth $157.02 today, the market must believe free cash flow compounds -15.4%/yr for a decade (off $614.3M on the 3-yr avg basis).
On the basis ($599.6M) the requirement is -15.1%/yr. Shares issued to employees are added back in operating cash flow, so this basis treats them as free.
The market's -15.4% is more conservative than its 9-yr track record.
Default is 8.1% — this company's computed cost of capital (computed WACC), the same rate the Analysis tab discounts at.
2-stage DCF · 0.02B shares (market data) · net debt $117.8M
Today's price is outside this grid at every discount rate shown — the assumptions it requires lie beyond the plotted range, which is itself the finding.
mean 18.6% · volatility σ 48% · implied rate exceeded in 7/9 yrs
Central path = implied -15.4%/yr growth; shaded band = ±1σ (48%) of this company's historical FCF volatility, widening with time. The wider the band, the less certain the growth.
Reverse DCF: rather than guessing a fair value, we solve for the growth the current price implies, then you stress-test the assumptions. Enterprise value of the FCF stream, less net debt, ÷ shares. Educational — not a recommendation.
What the company returns to shareholders — and whether it's covered by cash.
The dividend is comfortably covered — only 10% of free cash flow, leaving room to grow it and fund buybacks. Last year: $63.5M dividends + $75.7M buybacks = $139.3M returned on $644.8M FCF.

How much the company owes, how it's trended, and how comfortably it's serviced.
Cash of $1.04B (at 2025-12-31) covers the $178.1M due within a year 5.8× over. Scheduled principal only (excludes interest & revolver draws). As of 2014-12-31 (20-F). The cash figure is from 2025-12-31, so the two are not the same balance-sheet date — the schedule has not been refiled since.
Green ≤ 1.5× · amber ≤ 3× · red > 3× (leverage relative to cash earnings).
Interest is easily covered by operating profit. Effective rate ~3.6% on $734.8M of debt. Interest last disclosed in FY2024 (no longer broken out).
Cash of $1.04B fully covers short-term debt of $283.0M.
Mostly long-term debt (balance-sheet current vs non-current split). See the maturity ladder above for the year-by-year repayment schedule.

Leverage and buybacks account for 3 points of the 13% return on equity in FY2025. The business earns 10% on the capital it employs; the rest is balance sheet.
ROE is on average equity; ROIC is NOPAT over average invested capital (debt plus equity less excess cash). The gap is not a single adjustment.
Margins have compressed 3 years running even as the spread stayed positive.
Cash conversion is 1.12x, but receivables have outgrown revenue 3 years running.
Receivables have outgrown revenue for 3 years running — sales are being booked faster than the money arrives, which reaches the cash flow statement a year or more after it shows up here.

Below the line, the asset base is being consumed faster than it is replaced.
Below the line for 7 consecutive years to the latest.
Depreciation here includes amortisation of acquired intangibles — goodwill written down over time, customer lists, acquired technology. Capex does not replace those and is not meant to, so an acquisitive or asset-light company sits below 1.0 permanently and correctly. The signal is cleanest for capital-intensive businesses, where the two measure the same physical base. For that reason this informs the earnings-quality verdict but never caps it.
SBC is added back inside operating cash flow, so reported free cash flow treats shares issued to employees as free. Percent of revenue says how expensive the payroll is; percent of operating cash flow says how much of the cash exists only because the charge was added back. The buyback offset is buybacks over SBC — below 1.0 the repurchase does not cover the shares issued.
Figures are the latest fiscal year (FY2025) from the company's own filings, not a trailing-twelve-month window — Q2 reads fiscal years throughout so the cash-conversion ratios and these share one basis. A blank is a line the filer did not report; it is never read as zero.
