SPOT — scored out of ten from its own filings

Figures as at 2025-12-31, reported in EUR. The newest fact in the filings is dated 2025-12-31, 236 days ago. Nothing on this page is advice.

The five scores

Dimension	What it asks	Score
Quality	How much of the revenue is really kept — and what did it take to earn it?	6.1
Valuation	What does the price ask for what the company earns, owns and pays out?	0.5
Durability	How predictable is the revenue, and how much of it is already committed?	0.5
Resilience	Can the balance sheet absorb a bad year?	5.8
Growth	Is the business getting bigger, and is it getting more profitable?	2.41

A dimension reading not measured means the filing does not carry the figures it needs. It is left out of the total rather than scored as though it were bad.

What each measure said

A dimension's score is the weighted average of these. Each links to the page explaining how it is worked out and which XBRL tags it reads.

Quality — 6.1

Measure	What it is	Score
SBC / sales	Stock compensation over revenue, inverted	9.83
ROIC	Return on invested capital	8.14
OE margin	(Free cash flow − stock comp) over revenue	4.93
Adj. EBITDA margin	Cash operating margin, before stock compensation	3.64
Oper. margin	GAAP operating margin	3.3

Resilience — 5.8

Measure	What it is	Score
ND/EBITDA	Net cash, or net debt over EBITDA	9.0
Current ratio	Current ratio, excluding deferred revenue from the liabilities	4.26
Interest cover, EBIT over interest	Interest cover, EBIT over interest	4.13

Growth — 2.41

Measure	What it is	Score
Sales/sh Y/Y	Revenue growth per diluted share, trailing twelve months against the prior twelve	2.41

A measure missing from a list here could not be computed from this company's filings. It is left out rather than scored as though it were bad.

The figures, and where each came from

This is the part no other screener shows. Each figure below names the XBRL element it was read from, so it can be checked against the filing itself.

What to be careful about

revenue is annual, not TTM
operating income is annual, not TTM
no market cap; set `market_cap` in overrides.yaml
reports in EUR and no currency is recorded for its share price, so the two cannot be shown to match. The price refresh records one; until it has run for this company the multiples are left out rather than assumed comparable
share count is from 2025-12-31 (236 days old, dei cover page); a stock split since then would make the market cap wrong. Set `market_cap` in overrides.yaml to be sure.
no usable diluted share count, so growth is measured on total revenue rather than per share; a company issuing shares to fund that growth reads better than it is
