Questions

Which companies are Objective's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: UltraGreen.ai (UGS.SI), Coffee Stain (COFFEE-B.ST), Materialise NV Sponsored ADR (MTLS), D2L (DTOL.TO), 63 Moons Technologies (63MOONS.NS), Chase Science (300941.SZ), IGG (0799.HK), Hangzhou Century (300078.SZ).
Is Objective expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 23.4× against a peer median of 20.8×, 7th most expensive of 14 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 8% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +7%, so the hurdle is +1 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Objective stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -38.7% against -11.2% for the median peer; over one year -64.1%.

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.
