The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive6 supporting, 3 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • matches profit that turns into cash, which has beaten the market by +2.73 points over 20 sessions across 9,184 past signals
  • 5 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 26% year on year in the quarter ending 30 June 2026
  • net margin has widened from 1.3% to 7.8% across four quarters
  • priced at 26× earnings against an industry median of 31× — 16% below its peers

Against

  • trading 8% below its 200-day average
  • at 12% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
  • down 28% over twelve months

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
What would change this read: a close back above 212, its 200-day average.

Every figure here is computed — from the company’s own filings, or from its own closing prices. Wording of 3 of these 3 filing lines was drafted by a language model, which is given the figures and may not introduce another — any sentence containing a number that did not come from the filings is discarded before it reaches this page.

how long customers take to pay
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 26 September 2024
34×
median 66×
82×
now 26×
STARCEMENT trades at 26× trailing earnings, below its median of 66× over this window — 61% 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.
