WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
100%Water
WaterEmerging Technologies <1%
100% of all revenue comes from a single line: Water.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$134.7M
The net profit left over:
$23M
Out of every $100 in sales, $17 stays as net profit.
THE SLICE THAT TURNS INTO PROFIT: 17%

This is an established company with proven profits.

THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL PROFIT
16.9×

The market pays 16.9× for every dollar of annual profit — around what a business like this usually costs.

Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 83% of them.

Analysts' average target sits 32% above today's price.

What executives did with their own stock over the last 12 months:
21 buy40 sell

Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.

INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

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

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
88
very strong

Profit power and business quality lead the class.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH
98
very strong

Debt is low and cash is strong; the finances stand solid.

VALUATION
83
very strong

The price looks reasonable next to what the company earns.

GROWTH
74
strong

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

PRICE MOMENTUM
22
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
A big climb, then a hard fall.

An investor who bought at the very peak is down 75% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/2
A fat but narrowing margin

The net profit margin is 17% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/2
Strong cash, light debt

There is $75.2M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $65.8M would remain.

1
THE RISKS · 1/3
The stock has lost its spark

Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 22/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.

2
THE RISKS · 2/3
Little set aside for the future

The share set aside for the future is small; the pace of new ideas may slow.

3
THE RISKS · 3/3
Executives aren’t buying

No clear buy-side message is coming from the executive floor.

FINALE · THE GRADE
A+
85 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, ERII 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: ERII 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.
