What Theon International does

Maker of night-vision goggles, thermal weapon sights and laser rangefinders for militaries and law enforcement.

Sells to defence ministries, often through competitive tenders and frequently via government-to-government channels, with each export shipment needing licences from the governments involved, which can delay revenue timing. The holding company is registered in Cyprus and listed in Amsterdam, but operations are centred in Greece and Europe.

In one line: A European night-vision equipment maker for militaries.

Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -9.8% against +3.6% for the median peer; over one year +1.3%.

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.
