Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. trades at USD26.07, close to the USD29.93 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 34 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
