Whystock Valuation Model
Anchored to each ticker's own 5-year median trailing P/E, tilted by current ROE and growth. Fair P/E = own median P/E + (ROE × 10) + (max(revenue growth, earnings growth) × 15), capped at ±30% around the historical anchor. Fair Value = (Current Price ÷ Trailing P/E) × Fair P/E. Premium compounders like COST/MSFT are judged against their own multi-year norm rather than a sector median. Falls back to the sector-anchored formula (Tech ≈ 28, Comm Services ≈ 24, Utilities ≈ 18, Financials ≈ 14, etc.) for recent IPOs and tickers with insufficient history (< 24 monthly samples). Result is a normalised multiple gauge — not a price target.

REFR Q1 2026 Earnings Transcript
As always, I appreciate the time and interest of our shareholders, customers, licensees and industry partners joining us today. Today, I want to talk about Research Frontiers, our business, our markets and also address the question I've been asked most frequently over the past 6 months, what's happening with our licensee, Gauzy. First, first quarter reported revenues compared to the same period last year were affected by the timing of revenue recognition under our license agreements as well as the nonrecurrence of upfront revenue recognized from a new license agreement entered into during the first quarter of 2025.
