The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

The 5N Plus specialty-semi-materials OTC up 143% t12m — Q2 EPS beat 6%, revenue +31% YoY, at 35% of range.

5N Plus Inc. is a small-cap ($1.9B mcap) Canadian specialty-semiconductor-materials producer with Specialty Semiconductors and Performance Materials segments (OTC-listed) — a business up 143% t12m and 61% YTD as multi-quarter EPS-beat cadence combined with the Aug 3 Q2 print set the accelerating trajectory to 35% of range.

  • The Q2 print was decisive: EPS of $0.17 vs $0.16 estimate (6.5% beat), revenue of $122.4M vs $114.1M estimate (7% beat), and the specific Q1 FY26 local revenue of $116.3M (+30.8% YoY) reflects the specific pattern where a specialty-semi-materials producer with global scale accelerates as compound-semi + solar demand compound.
  • The specific multi-quarter beat cadence is central: four-quarter surprises of +6%/+24%/+6%/+85% reflect the specific pattern where a specialty-materials specialist consistently outperforms sell-side estimates on the specific solar cadmium-telluride + compound-semi + medical-imaging demand.
  • The financial profile is a specialty semi-materials compounder: TTM P/E of 32.7x (premium on inflection), P/S of 4.55x, ROIC of 16.8%, ROE of 30.0%, D/E of 0.69 (moderately levered), gross margin of 30.0%, FCF yield of 1.1%, beta 1.85 (high-vol) — the specific pattern where a specialty compound-semi materials producer trades at premium multiples on the specific solar + compound-semi cycle.
  • The FY26 sell-side EPS estimate of $0.68 rising to $0.88 in FY27 encodes the specific expected mid-30% growth from the compound of Specialty Semiconductors + Performance Materials.

The Nov 2 Q3 print is next — Specialty Semiconductors margin, Performance Materials growth, and FY26 outlook. Continued execution extends the +143% t12m; a soft print at 35% of range invites mean-reversion.

What to watch: The Nov 2 Q3 print — Specialty Semiconductors margin, Performance Materials growth, and FY26 outlook.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
32.7How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
16.8%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
20.1%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
1.1%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
4.6Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
30.0%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
30.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.7Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
