First Advantage Corporation (FA) — VMCI valuation read

Across 120 indicators, First Advantage Corporation (FA) lands at VMCI 51/100. The Industrials sector median is 50, so the 1-point above-median read is the active comparison. Pillar weighting on the score: Value 35%, Quality 30%, Integrity 15%, Growth 12%, Risk 8%.

No material Form 4 disclosures landed on FA in the past 30 days. Quiet insider tape removes one signal source; the active reads stay with the trailing-twelve-month financials and the next 10-Q.

**Investor frame.** On Value, FA trades at 15.0x earnings, 17% below the Industrials median of 18.0x; the EV/EBITDA delta of -2.0x reinforces that single line. On Quality, ROIC of 13.0% sits 3.0pp above the Industrials median (10.0%). On Risk, net debt to EBITDA of 2.3x is the rate-sensitivity line to watch for FA on the trailing balance sheet.

FA fell 1.0% over the trailing 7 days, with a -23.0% read on a 30-day basis.
