Is SOH.JSE undervalued?

Graham number

The Graham number of South Ocean Holdings Ltd cannot be estimated reliably (the estimate is too far from the market price).

Graham number = √(22.5 × EPS × book value per share): the most a defensive investor should pay according to Benjamin Graham. An estimate, not a recommendation to buy or sell. How is it calculated?
