The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative2 supporting, 4 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • 3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 65% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30

Against

  • trading 1% below its 200-day average
  • down 10% over twelve months
  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • priced at 23× earnings against an industry median of 17× — 32% above its peers

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
What would change this read: a close back above 95, its 200-day average.
Assembled automatically from the figures on this page — the scans matched, their measured record, the filed financials, the derivatives positioning and the peer comparison. It is not a recommendation, no one has spoken to the company, and every claim above can be checked against a number further down this page.

What the scans say today

operating cash flow as a share of profit
Return on capital uses profit before tax over equity plus borrowings. The textbook version adds finance costs back; those are not tagged reliably in quarterly filings, so this understates the ratio for a heavily borrowed company rather than flattering it. Balance sheets are filed half-yearly, so these can be up to six months behind the profit figures above.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
24×
median 33×
39×
now 23×
SBFC trades at 23× trailing earnings, below its median of 33× over this window — 31% less expensive than usual. The band runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, so single-day spikes do not set the edges.
This window is short by the standards of valuation history — it begins where four quarters of filed earnings first exist. A stock can look cheap against two years and expensive against ten.
