That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
This is an established company with proven profits.
Average growth of 6% a year over the last 4 years. Every year shown ended in profit.
The market pays 29.8× for every dollar of annual profit — around what a business like this usually costs.

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.
This grade is a blend: the profit side is strong, the sales tempo slow.
The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
No real weak spot in any of the five subjects — a balanced report card.

It pays out $1.82 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
The stock trades 33% above the average analyst price target.
On our five-subject report card, KRT 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: KRT is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate isn’t the quality of the business — it’s what that quality should cost.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
