6.28 / 10
Outperform
DFIN's fundamental profile is constructive with adequate strength (6.3/10). Key positives include Asset-MV at -0.5007 (Group 2, 2/3 score) and Revenue-MV at -0.1058 (Group 3), both historically linked to attractive monthly returns. However, declining earnings metrics—Basic EPS YoY -68.03% and Diluted EPS YoY -67.83%—signal profit-pressure that tempers enthusiasm. The company maintains a healthy current-asset ratio (26.67%) and moderate leverage (49.16% current-liability ratio), supporting liquidity. Overall, fundamentals lean Outperform but require monitoring due to weak earnings growth.
