A score of 50 means class average.
Profit indicators sit around the sector average.
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.
There is growth, but not at top-of-the-class tempo.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
No real weak spot in any of the five subjects — a balanced report card.

Over the last 4 years, sales grew only 3% a year on average. At this size, speeding back up is not easy.
On our five-subject report card, TKR sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
