PHE scores 28/100 for profitability, assessed sector-relative on margins and via absolute thresholds for capital efficiency. Gross margin of 57.8% is 29% above the sector average of 45% — indicating margins are materially above peers. The company is currently loss-making with a net margin of -942.1%. FCF conversion of 0% is low — reported earnings may overstate true cash generation. Overall, profitability metrics are weaker across multiple model inputs. Profitability trends can change and should be reviewed alongside balance-sheet risk.

💎 Valuation

Weight: 15%
56/100

Valuation is scored sector-relative — each metric is compared against the typical multiple for this industry, so a high P/E in Healthcare is judged differently to a high P/E in Energy. PEG and Price/FCF use absolute thresholds.

Highly Variable
🤖Model Commentary

PHE scores 94/100 for operational quality, indicating high operational risk. Key concerns: a negative net margin of -942.1% — the company is loss-making; negative FCF (-630.6% FCF margin) — the business is cash burning; weak capital efficiency with -41.5% Cash ROA; significant margin instability of ±6636.2pp over 3 years — the primary risk driver here. These weaknesses make the business vulnerable to cost shocks or revenue shortfalls. Monitor profitability trends closely.

📉 Volatility

Weight: 25%
95/100

Volatility measures price instability, worst-case drawdowns, and sensitivity to broader market moves.

Annualised Volatility (35%)
Max Drawdown (35%)
Beta (30%)
2.01
Very Aggressive
🤖Model Commentary

PHE has a volatility risk score of 95/100. This indicates elevated price instability in the measured period. Beta of 2.01 means it moves 2.01x the market on average. High volatility can increase drawdown risk and may require tighter risk controls, depending on an investor's objectives and risk tolerance.

📊 Size Factor

Weight: 10%
80/100

Size factor captures existential risk. Smaller companies have higher failure rates, less diversification, and greater vulnerability to shocks.

Market Cap

Neutral
Size Category
Nano Cap
Neutral
🤖Model Commentary

PHE has a market cap of £0.0B (Nano Cap), resulting in a size risk score of 80/100. As a smaller company, it faces elevated business and funding risk. Small and micro-caps have higher failure rates, less diversified revenue, and greater vulnerability to competitive threats or economic shocks. They often lack scale advantages and may struggle to access capital markets during stress. Smaller companies can experience higher dispersion of outcomes, including business failure or sustained capital impairment. Diversification is important when investing at this size.
