Don't sleep on NMFC's setup in Financials. Forensic Balance Sheet scores 13 of 20 with Altman Z 2.5 and Debt/Equity 0.5, and a repurchase program is reported as extended to $150 Million.. Beta of 1.0 means it moves fast when momentum turns, and the 5-pillar RQD gauge (45/100) backs up the fundamental quality.
@BearTrap_Alert Fair point on 40.3x trailing P/E, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Finance/Investors Services. If gross margin (0.0%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Here is the bear case nobody on the bull side wants to address on NMFC: ROIC of 1.4%, FCF yield of 0%, and a 40.3 trailing P/E on 0.17 EPS leave the RQD rating in a Sell/Underperform verdict with Insider and Macro pillars at 6 of 20.. At 40.3x trailing P/E, even a small guidance miss in Finance/Investors Services triggers a 12-15% air pocket.
