THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL PROFIT
8.9×

The market pays 8.9× for every dollar of annual profit — cheap, which is either an opportunity or a warning.

Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 85% of them.

Analysts' average target sits 34% above today's price.

INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
98
very strong

Profit power and business quality lead the class.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH
61
average

For a bank, strength is measured by capital buffers and reserves — not cash minus debt.

VALUATION
85
very strong

The price looks reasonable next to what the company earns.

GROWTH
88
very strong

This grade is a blend: the profit side is strong, the sales tempo slow.

PRICE MOMENTUM
18
very weak

Clearly below the class average.

WORTH WATCHING

Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
Below the peak, but no collapse.

The stock trades 21% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/3
A fat but narrowing margin

The net profit margin is 27% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/3
Delivers on expectations

It met or beat analyst expectations in 7 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.

3
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 3/3
Pays a steady dividend

It pays out $0.20 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.

1
THE RISKS · 1/1
The stock has lost its spark

Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 18/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.

FINALE · THE GRADE
A+
90 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, CASH sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”

The takeaway: CASH is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.

The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
