Forensic balance-sheet pillar is the strongest component at 13/20, with Altman Z of 2.5, Piotroski F of 6/9, and Debt/Equity of 0.5.. When you look under the hood at RFI, 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 $12.07. My 12M target is $12.10.
@SkepticalCFA Fair point on current EV/EBITDA multiples, but you're ignoring the forward operating leverage in Investment Managers. If gross margin (0.0%) holds, EPS grows into the multiple faster than bears think.
Fading this rally in RFI at $10.52. Macro regime fit scores only 4/20 and ROIC and FCF yield are both 0%, leaving no demonstrated cash engine behind the price.. With a beta of 1.0 and the stock sitting at $10.52 (52-wk range $10.17–$12.07), the easy multiple expansion is already priced in.
