The thesis, from the filings

Jianpu Technology Inc. earns about -4% on invested capital, below its ~9% cost of capital, and has bought back 3% of its shares over 5 years — no moat visible in the numbers. The estimate methods put fair value between $0.51 and $0.54 a share.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

iii. Is this a good business?
Moat signal · return on invested capital
-4% avg · 5y
FY21 -59%FY22 -31%FY23 -7%FY24 37%FY25 40%

It earned about -4% on invested capital against a ~9% cost of capital — below the cost of funding. The numbers show no moat.

seeing a moat in the numbers →
Management signal · capital allocation
−3% shares · 5y

Share count is down 3% over 5 years — management has been buying back stock, quietly handing owners a bigger slice. Total debt has held roughly steady.

Signals, not verdicts — read from the filings above. Numbers don’t prove a moat; they show its footprint. You decide.

iv. What it’s worth — engine v0.1.0

The 2 estimate methods that apply put fair value between $0.51 and $0.54 a share. They rest on different assumptions, so where they diverge is the story; the Graham Number is a stricter floor, not a target.
