WD-40 Company (WDFC) — VMCI valuation read

WD-40 Company sits at VMCI 59/100, with the Basic Materials sector median at 50. That 9-point spread is the first thing to note on WDFC: it tells the reader the composite is favorable before any single ratio is examined, and the mid-cap tier sets the comparison set.

Form 4 disclosures on WDFC are blank for the trailing 30 days. With the insider channel offline, the EV/EBITDA delta, free-cash-flow trajectory, and the next earnings print do the talking.

**Investor frame.** The Value read on WDFC: WDFC trades at 14.0x earnings, 22% below the Basic Materials median of 18.0x, with EV/EBITDA at 13.0x against 12.0x. The Quality read: ROIC of 8.0% trails the Basic Materials median (10.0%) by 2.0pp. The Risk read: net debt to EBITDA of -1.1x leaves covenant headroom, anchoring the bear scenario on a measurable balance-sheet metric.

WDFC rose 1.7% over the trailing 7 days, with a +5.7% read on a 30-day basis.
