Total return (dividends reinvested) vs the market, from quarter-end prices.
Above 0 = ahead of the S&P 500 since the window start; below 0 = behind. Rising means it's pulling ahead.
How far the stock fell below its prior peak. Deeper, longer drawdowns = a rougher ride to the same return.
Quarter-end, dividend-adjusted (total return). Beta & volatility from quarterly returns (annualized). Benchmark is the S&P 500 (SPY total return). Annual returns compound the quarters ending in each calendar year; the first and last years in a window may be partial. Past performance doesn't predict future results.
Solve the discounted cash flow backwards, then stress-test the assumptions.
Average free cash flow across the last 2 positive fiscal years (FY2022, FY2023). Smooths the cycle. Stock compensation is NOT charged — it is added back inside operating cash flow.
To be worth $1.92 today, the market must believe free cash flow compounds -17.9%/yr for a decade (off $2.3M on the 3-yr avg basis).
On the basis ($2.3M) the requirement is -17.7%/yr. Shares issued to employees are added back in operating cash flow, so this basis treats them as free.
Default is 11.6% — this company's computed cost of capital (computed WACC), the same rate the Analysis tab discounts at.
2-stage DCF · 0.01B shares (market data) · net debt -$4.2M
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 94.6% · volatility σ 233% · implied rate exceeded in 6/9 yrs
Central path = implied -17.9%/yr growth; shaded band = ±1σ (233%) 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.
Free-cash-flow coverage unavailable. Last year: $1.2M dividends + $0 buybacks = $1.2M returned on -$490K FCF.
Yields use the latest fiscal-year dividends/buybacks over current market cap. Dividends and buybacks from the SEC cash-flow statement; payout coverage vs net income and free cash flow. Educational — not a recommendation.
How management deployed cash over 10 years — and what it earned on reinvestment.
A cash-return story — far more went to shareholders than back into the business (mature, low-reinvestment).
Reinvestment has been productive — operating income grew well per dollar put in. Current ROIC on all capital: 5%. Rough measure (includes maintenance capex).
Cash uses aggregated from the SEC cash-flow statement over 10 fiscal years. "Return on reinvestment" is a rough proxy — operating-income change ÷ cumulative CapEx + M&A — and includes maintenance capex. Educational — not a recommendation.

How a revenue dollar becomes profit — FY2024
Dividends and buybacks are cash paid out, shown here against the same year's profit for scale — not funded from it. This year they exceeded net income, so the ribbons are capped at earnings and understate what was actually returned.
Each value shows its share of revenue below it (common-size).

Green ≤ 1.5× · amber ≤ 3× · red > 3× (leverage relative to cash earnings).

Return on equity (5%) and return on invested capital (5%) are within a couple of points in FY2024, so the headline return is the operating return — there is no meaningful leverage effect to strip out.
ROIC ex-goodwill is -0.87% against -0.87% reported — the return is earned on a capital base inflated by what was paid for acquisitions, not by the operating business alone.
Converts 0.79x of reported profit into cash — adequate, without much margin.
Reported free cash flow is -$490,000; after share-based compensation it is -$500,000. The difference is a real cost that the cash flow statement adds back.
No debt, so there is no leverage path to distress.

Cash burn, not leverage, is the risk for a debt-free company — see question 2 for cash conversion.
At $1.92, free cash flow must compound -17.88%/yr for 10 years. It has no positive compounding record to compare against.

Below the line, the asset base is being consumed faster than it is replaced.
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 (FY2024) 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.
