What Agilysys does

Sells point-of-sale and property-management software used by hotels, resorts, casinos and restaurants.

Revenue is now mostly recurring subscription and maintenance fees rather than one-off licences and hardware, after it moved its customers to cloud versions of its software, and revenue per customer grows as they add modules. Implementations at hotels and casinos can take months.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
