The thesis, from the filings

Tuya Inc. earns about -14% on invested capital, below its ~9% cost of capital, but has diluted owners by 25% over 5 years — no moat visible in the numbers. The estimate methods put fair value between $3.59 and $3.77 a share.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

iv. What it’s worth — engine v0.1.0

The 2 estimate methods that apply put fair value between $3.59 and $3.77 a share. They rest on different assumptions, so where they diverge is the story; the Graham Number is a stricter floor, not a target.
