CRD-A: overvalued.

Figures as of the 2026-09-22 close.

How is CRD-A's intrinsic value calculated?

Book value at 1.59x, the multiple a 13.0% return on equity justifies, blended with earnings, values the shares at $6.34; the price of $12.84 is 102% above that value. The value is recomputed every night after the US close, from the company's own filings with the SEC and the day's closing price.

Is CRD-A in the buy zone?

We call it the buy zone when the price is at least 20% below our estimate of intrinsic value. CRD-A trades at $12.84 against a value of $6.34, a margin of safety of -102.5%: it is not in the buy zone. A margin of safety is room for our estimate to be wrong, not a forecast.

At what price would CRD-A be in the buy zone?

At $5.07 or lower, which is 20% below our estimate of $6.34. That is 60% under today's price of $12.84, if our estimate does not change. It will: it moves with every annual report.
