Forensic balance sheet is the strongest RQD pillar at 13/20, with Altman Z 2.5, Piotroski F 6/9, and Debt/Equity 0.5.. When you look under the hood at NMCO, Fundamental Cash Engine is 11/20 with 0.0% gross margins and 0.0% ROIC. Bears are staring in the rearview mirror while institutional 13F flow (6/20) has been quietly accumulating below $11.00. My 12M target is $11.35.
@MidwestValue Agree on the RQD 45/100 quality, though with 1.0 beta I'm scaling in with half-size at $8.94 and keeping dry powder in case we test $8.31.
ROIC and FCF yield are both 0% and the macro regime fit pillar scores only 5/20, undermining any fundamental re-rating thesis.. Look at the math on NMCO: paying current EV/EBITDA multiples for 0.0% ROIC and 0.0% operating margins leaves zero margin of safety if Finance/Investors Services demand softens. I'd wait for a retest of $7.87 before getting long.
