This is an established company with proven profits.
The market pays 20.4× for every dollar of annual profit — around what a business like this usually costs.
Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 78% of them.
Analysts' average target sits 15% above today's price.
Executives buying with their own money is usually read as confidence in the company’s future.
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.
For a bank, strength is measured by capital buffers and reserves — not cash minus debt.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
This grade is a blend: the profit side is strong, the sales tempo slow.
Clearly below the class average.
Financial Strength: The capital buffer looks thin next to its class; less room to absorb a rough stretch.
Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
The stock trades 21% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The net profit margin is 15% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 7 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 125 buys and 29 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
Over the last 4 years, sales fell about 0% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
The balance sheet offers little cushion against a rough stretch. Report-card grade: 10/100.
Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 25/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.
On our five-subject report card, MC sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.
The takeaway: MC 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.
Not covered, because the filings we hold do not carry it: the revenue breakdown.
