Valued roughly in line with its peers on earnings

Context
At 8.1x trailing earnings, Abans Financial Services Limited trades roughly in line with the median of 6 peers (8.2x).
Context
At 0.8x book value, Abans Financial Services Limited trades roughly in line with the median of 6 peers (0.9x).
Context
Return on equity was 9.0% in FY26, about the same as the 8.2% a year shareholders require (the cost of equity). A simple rule, fair P/B = (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g), gives about 1.3x against 0.8x today, if that return lasts.
Favourable
Earnings yield is 12.4% (trailing earnings ÷ price) against 7.4% on a 10-year government bond: more profit per rupee of price than the bond pays, though profits are less certain than interest.
Favourable
Business health grade B (71 out of 100): looks mostly healthy, with 4 strengths and 2 red flags (top concern: owners are being diluted).

Educational, not investment advice. “Favourable” means the numbers lean in today's price's favour; “Caution” means the price asks a lot of the future.

Red flags 2

Owners are being diluted: the share count grew 2.2% a year over FY23–FY26 (shares issued for a merger or to repay debt count too).
Low return for shareholders: ROE was 9.0% in FY26, below 10%.

How to read this

Piotroski F-score (Joseph Piotroski, 2000): nine pass-or-fail tests of profitability, debt, liquidity and efficiency, each comparing the latest year with the one before. 7 or more is strong; 3 or fewer is weak.

Altman Z'' (Edward Altman, 1995, the version for non-manufacturers and emerging markets): combines working capital, retained earnings, operating profit and book equity relative to the balance sheet. Above 2.60 is the safe zone, below 1.10 the distress zone.

Beneish M-score (Messod Beneish, 1999): eight ratios that, in his study, separated companies later found to have manipulated earnings. Above −1.78 resembles that pattern. It is a prompt to read the notes to the accounts, not an accusation.

Grade: a 0 to 100 blend (Piotroski 40%, Altman 20%, Beneish 15%, the ratios 25%, re-weighted when a part is missing): A from 80, B from 65, C from 50, D from 35, E below.

All three screens were built on US companies and annual accounts from Yahoo Finance, which can be incomplete. Lenders, insurers and holding companies get financial-firm ratios instead of the Altman and Beneish screens.

Lenders and investment holding companies are graded on return on equity and assets, the capital cushion, book value growth, dilution and growth. The Piotroski, Altman and Beneish screens and the debt and cash-conversion ratios are left out: loan growth is an operating cash outflow and borrowing is raw material, so they would mislead.
Piotroski F-score is not used for financial firms: its cash-flow, leverage, liquidity and margin tests describe industrial companies.
Altman Z'' is not used for financial firms: it was built for companies whose balance sheets are not mostly loans, deposits or policyholder funds.
Beneish M-score is not used for financial firms: receivables, gross margin and asset quality mean something different for a lender or an insurer.

What analysts expect

Price targets and ratings from the brokers' analysts who cover the stock, as Yahoo collects them. Their opinion, not this app's; set against the model so you can see where you differ.

No analyst coverage on Yahoo for this company. Smaller companies are often not covered at all, which makes your own analysis matter more.

Risk and likely range

How much the shares have swung and how far they have fallen over five years. Risk repeats far more reliably than direction, so this is the honest kind of forecast: how far the price may move, not which way.

DCF sections are hidden for financial firms

For a lender, an insurer or an investment holding company, debt is raw material rather than financing, so free cash flow to the firm and the WACC bridge don't describe the business. The value above uses peer P/E and P/B only.
