The thesis, from the filings

The estimate methods put fair value between $4.23 and $61.29 a share.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

10 shares is a claim on $19.3 of net worth that earned you $6.67 and generated $14.01 of cash last year, against $2.94 of debt.

It earned about 29% on equity, year after year, against a ~9% cost of capital — the footprint of real pricing power. Competition usually drags returns like this back down; here it hasn't.

Share count is roughly flat over 5 years — little dilution, little buyback. Total debt has risen 1634% over the same window.

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 3 estimate methods that apply put fair value between $4.23 and $61.29 a share. They rest on different assumptions, so where they diverge is the story; the Graham Number is a stricter floor, not a target.
