Read the full ET&A methodology →The ET&A View combines our assessment of the business with where today’s price sits against our Preferred Entry and Fair Value. It is a considered judgement, not a mechanical score.

Thin margins · Strong balance sheet · Weak
Context — not part of the score
Valuation and share-price swings describe the shares, not the company, so they are judged in the ET&A Score and View instead.
Based on the factors that could be measured (45% of the model).
Each area is scored from 0 to 10 on ET&A’s methodology scales — the same ones our research uses — then given a word: Excellent from 8.5, Strong from 7, Good from 5.5, Average from 4.5, Below Average from 3, Weak below 3. The overall answer is the average of the areas we could rate (at least three); the dividend isn’t part of it.
| Area | Based on | Score | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue |
Rated on 3-year average revenue growth, on ET&A's growth scale. | 2.7 / 10 | Weak |
| Earnings |
Rated on 3-year average earnings growth, on ET&A's growth scale. | 2.0 / 10 | Weak |
| Margins |
The average of operating and net margin, each scored on ET&A's margin scales. A negative margin scores 1 (Weak). | 4.7 / 10 | Average |
| Cash generation |
Free cash flow as a share of sales, on ET&A's cash-generation scale. | 5.9 / 10 | Good |
| Balance sheet |
Net debt ÷ EBITDA — roughly how many years of operating earnings would repay the debt — on ET&A's leverage scale. | 7.9 / 10 | Strong |
| Dividend |
Dividend yield on ET&A's income scale. Not part of the overall health rating. | 7.6 / 10 | Strong |
| Overall | Average of the 5 rated areas | 4.6 / 10 | Average |
Where each band starts on the scales above. They are fixed and identical for every company we cover; they come straight from ET&A’s methodology, so a company is judged the same way here as in our research.
