√(22.5 × EPS × BVPS) — a P/E ceiling of 15 times a P/B ceiling of 1.5. A computation, not a recommendation; the primer works it through.
Tests: Graham's criteria for industrial companies. Per-share figures are on the 4,000,000,000 shares that exist after the August 2026 capital reorganisation, the issuer's own pro forma basis, and the FY2025 price is the offer price of the October 2026 offer for sale, not a market price, the shares being unlisted.
Showing FY2025
√(22.5 × 0.38 × 0.26) = 1.50
The Graham number for FY2025, from that year's EPS and BVPS. Tap a figure below for its source and date.
Discount to Graham number: −399.2% at the results-day price of 7.50. Positive means the price was below the Graham number; negative means above.
