Is the company run well?

Five key figures against companies in the Morning class Micro in the same sector. Green is better than most, amber about like the industry and red weaker than most.

  • Profitability · operating margin 0.7% Weaker than the industry Industry: 6.6%
  • Returns · return on assets 2.7% Weaker than the industry Industry: 13.1%

  • Liquidity · current ratio 0.99 Weaker than the industry Industry: 1.54
  • Growth · revenue growth 5.1% About like the industry Industry: 6.5%

The mark comes from the company's place among comparable companies (percentile): green from 60, amber from 40, red below 40. Negative equity, an operating loss and a current ratio under 1 pull it down regardless. Methodology

Worth a closer look

  • critical

    Equity is negative. How will it be rebuilt, and what do lenders and the auditor say about going concern?

    Based on: Equity ratio −1.0% (median 39.5%).

  • critical

    The operating result does not cover the financial costs. How will the debt be serviced, and what do the lenders say?

    Based on: Interest coverage (times) 0.3 (median 9.1); Financial costs as a share of debt 4.5% (median 0.8%).

  • watch

    Consider strengthening liquidity: current liabilities are 1.0 times current assets.

    Based on: Current ratio 0.99 (median 1.54).

  • watch

    The company made a loss before tax. Are these one-off items or a pattern?

    Based on: Profit margin −0.9% (median 6.8%).

  • watch

    Current liabilities exceed current assets other than bank deposits, and the current ratio is weak. Is it customer prepayments and supplier credit that fund the operations, or short-term loans that must be renewed?

    Based on: Net working capital to revenue −22.8% (median −9.4%); Current ratio 0.99 (median 1.54).

Indications based on the latest annual accounts from open data. Not investment or financial advice.

Financial costs were 4.5% of the debt in 2025. The policy rate averaged 4.30 % the same year. This is a plain description of what the debt cost, not a model of interest sensitivity.

The figures are our own calculations from the annual accounts and do not count in the score. Open data has no depreciation, so no EBITDA, and the accounts do not split out interest-bearing debt. How we calculate

The industry or the company: what drove the result?

In 2025 the operating margin of Cayes AS rose by 2.5 percentage points. Comparable companies rose by a median 0.1 points. So the company did 2.4 points better than the industry, for reasons of its own.

Over 2 year-to-year changes Cayes AS moved the same way as comparable companies 0 times. About 16% of the changes in operating margin were common to the industry; the rest was the company's own.

Comparable companies are those in the same industry and Morning company class. Their change shows what hit the whole industry, the sector drivers below included. The rest is the company's own: contracts, costs, one-off items or operations. The share is approximate, and we claim no cause.

Estimated value · 2025

Three simple methods

Our calculations

Suggested price: about 3 MNOK

The mean of the 1 methods below (P/E, EV/EBIT and P/B with listed multiples and a size adjustment), rounded to two significant figures. It is a calculation, not a bid or a valuation. Fewer than three methods gave a figure, so the mean is weaker than it looks.
That is about 5.00 NOK per share, on 600,000 shares in the shareholder register.

One method gives a figure: 3 MNOK.

MethodInputMultipleListed basisEstimate
P/E Net profit (mean 2023–2025): 0.0 MNOK 18.0 – not meaningful
EV/EBIT Operating profit (mean 2023–2025): 0.1 MNOK
less net debt −2.0 MNOK (rough figure)
14.9 4 MNOK 3 MNOK
P/B Equity: 0.0 MNOK 3.6 – not meaningful
EV/EBIT: from enterprise value to equityNOK
Enterprise value (EV) at the listed multiple1 MNOK
Enterprise value after the size adjustment1 MNOK
Less net debt (rough figure)−2 MNOK
Equity value3 MNOK

Net debt is a rough figure: long-term liabilities minus cash. The accounts do not split interest-bearing debt from other liabilities, and short-term borrowings are not included. The size adjustment applies to the enterprise value, not to the debt. Net debt is −221% of the enterprise value after the size adjustment, so the equity value from EV/EBIT is sensitive to errors in the debt figure.

The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 4% on the cost of equity gives a value 38% lower. No separate marketability discount is applied, because the premium already allows for the company being small and unlisted.

The multiples are from the listed industry that matches the NACE code (62): Computer Services.

Our calculations

Figures you will not find in any register

We calculated these figures ourselves from the accounts and registers we have read. The company has not reported them and the Brønnøysund Register Centre does not publish them. They are indications and are not part of the index. How we calculate

Equity paid out or paid in
Equity moved as the result implied in 2025.
Calculated as retained earnings at the start of the year + net result − retained earnings at the end of the year. What remains is dividends and group contributions, plus transfers to other items and corrections of earlier years. It is not a dividend figure.
Owners and leadership aged 60 or older
Several signs that a generation change may be coming.
  • The chair is 60 or older.
  • The managing director is 60 or older.
  • 3 of 4 on the board are 60 or older.
Age is this year minus the birth year in the registers and can be a year off. It says something about age, not about anyone planning to step down.

Not financial advice. The index, rank, signals and advice are rule-based indications from the latest filed annual accounts. They are not a credit rating, an assessment of management or a recommendation to buy, sell or do business with the company. Read more
