The earlier assessment for comparison.

Earlier example as of September 30, 2026 · additional price comparison: October 1, 2026 · all fictional

The company · earlier version

A solid business.

Nordlicht builds industrial equipment. Maintenance and spare parts generate recurring revenue. In the fictional earlier version, debt was described as manageable; this educational example provides no specific supporting records.

Revenue growth shown at the time: 8%. Share of revenue from maintenance and spare parts: 40%. All information is fictional.

The share price · earlier version

The price is in the range of similar companies.

For every euro of annual earnings per share, you pay €18 in this example. In the fictional comparison, similar companies cost €16–€19. Nordlicht is therefore not particularly cheap.

The main risk: The largest customer contributes 30% of revenue. Fewer orders from that customer could substantially reduce profit.

The case for Nordlicht at the time

Maintenance and spare parts generate revenue even when customers order less new equipment. This makes the business less dependent on new orders.

What needed consideration at the time

The largest customer accounts for 30% of revenue. Profit could suffer if that customer orders less. The price comparison shown at the time also did not suggest a particularly cheap stock.

Figures for the before-and-after comparison

For the later comparison, the earlier example uses fictional figures: a share price of €72.00 on October 1, 2026 and assumed annual earnings per share of €4.00. The calculation 72 ÷ 4 = 18 explains the price assessment at the time. These figures are not actual historical market data.

Dates and sources

The earlier example distinguishes the analysis date of September 30, 2026 from the additional share price timestamp of October 1, 2026. The new quarterly announcement of October 8, 2026 is not yet included in that assessment.

No real sources. Nordlicht and all its figures are fictional. For a real earlier assessment, the company reports and announcements used at the time would be accessible here.
