Why now
Specialty Business Services · market cap $3.0b. Down 43% from 52-week high of $100.00 — deep drawdown territory.
Moat
ROE 22% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 100% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 43% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $61.19 (structural (no analyst coverage)) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $77.25 at ~6% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $99.08 if the moat survives secular pressure.
