Annual cash generation
Does profit turn into cash? Compare BFH’s accounting profit with operating cash flow and capital spending. Amounts are in USD.
This operating-company cash comparison is not shown for financial firms. Banking and insurance cash movements need a different interpretation; this is not a zero-cash-flow verdict.
Cash-flow source and meaning
Source: EODHD annual financial statements, latest stored vendor-normalized figures. These may include restatements and may differ from the filer’s own XBRL. A filing date is not the knowledge date of this version of the values.
Free cash flow is the vendor’s reported figure, shown only when it agrees with operating cash flow less capital spending recorded as a positive outflow. It is not cash guaranteed for dividends or buybacks, and it does not subtract every financing obligation. Missing or sign-incompatible inputs are not filled in. An unlabelled currency is used only for a confirmed domestic USD filer. These are annual statements, not forecasts or an originally-filed history.
Company Quality Grade
How steadily did the business compound its per-share book value with dividends over 40 quarters? This historical measure is not a stock-price return or a forecast.
As of · Window to
Computed, excluded from ranking
- Book with dividends · annual growth
- 15.3%
- Consistency of fitted trend · R²
- 0.867
- Recent / whole-window slope
- 1.05×
Basis: total common book; the tangible starting base was too small, so the whole window uses the fallback basis. Dividends are reinvested at book value, not at market prices. R² near 1 means a steadier fitted trend; it does not establish accounting quality.
No percentile or compounder designation is assigned because the admission rules were not met.
The compounder rule requires a top-decile composite within the tangible-book eligible pool, positive slope and no detected decline. Total-common-book fallback rows cannot qualify. A decline means the 90% interval for the recent 12-quarter / full-window slope ratio lies below 1; this row does not detect a decline. An absent decline is not proof that growth is accelerating.
- The filed share counts could not be reconciled consistently across the window.

Link an account to see your stake, watchlist and past holdings. Use this to question the durability of the business behind your investment case, alongside its filings and valuation. A withheld grade is a data or method limit, not a sell signal. For a short position, it does not predict timing, borrowing costs or downside. It does not measure your account’s return.
Method, filing sources and publication receipt
Source: SEC first-filed XBRL. Midas Edge API’s published Green Compounders method uses only filings public by the as-of date, split-adjusted shares and the original filed values. Restatements do not replace them. Issuer pools and entity types reflect the SEC submissions captured for this run, not historical classifications at each as-of date.
The primary form fits log book value with reinvested dividends against time. The method checks the starting book and market-cap floors and excludes identified non-reliance/enforcement windows. Its cohort is fixed at capture time, so historical percentiles have capture and survival limits. It does not check audit-opinion going-concern text. This grade is separate from InsiderIQ, HolderIQ and NetCredibility.

Short-interest history
FINRA reports open short positions for a settlement date. The publication date is later. These are reported positions, with a separate date for each observation.
Compare the reported short exposure around the dates you bought, sold or watched BFH. A long position benefits from price rises; a short position benefits from falls. A change in these counts does not predict either move.

Up to six Polygon cash-dividend events, including recorded ex-dates within the next 120 days. Amounts retain their recorded currency and decimal precision. Historical amounts are not restated to a common split basis, annualized, or converted to dollars.
For a long holding, compare the ex-date with when you held the shares and check the pay date against your broker’s cash history. Owning the stock today does not establish past entitlement. For a short holding, a dividend can create a payment obligation to the share lender.

Up to six stored split dates through Nov 10, 2026. Equivalent vendor ratios are combined; conflicting ratios are left out. This history may be incomplete.
A split changes the share count and per-share price basis; it does not by itself add investment value. Put your holding’s earlier and later share counts on the same basis before comparing them. This applies to both long shares and shares owed on a short position.

What it means for you
Sign in to read your holdings or watchlist context. No personal position or direction is inferred.
What happened
Stored recent-activity label: bullish. This context label is separate from the scored insider signal read.
Why it can matter
A count of reported activity describes a sample, not purchase conviction, an insider’s intent or a future price move. Neutral is not an all-clear, and absent direction is not neutral evidence.
How we got this
The current context rule reads at most 50 nonduplicate issuer/share-class records filed in the last 90 days. It counts a bullish direction or purchase code P toward bullish, and a bearish direction or sale code S toward bearish. A side must exceed the opposite count by more than two to set its label; otherwise nonzero directional counts produce neutral. Calculation unavailable for this saved label: its counts, exact records, as-of time and rule version are not supplied here. Do not substitute the separate scored read’s different window or denominator.
Where the data comes from
Stored SEC Forms 3/4/5 insider-signal records, ordered by filing date with amendment duplicates excluded. Filing date is not transaction date. The last-trade line locates recent reported activity; it does not date or reconstruct the complete count.

How this split is calculated
Each day uses that day’s fitted market intercept and style exposures multiplied by that day’s published factor returns. Their sum plus the independently stored residual must reconcile to the stock return. Window effects are weighted by stock wealth at each day’s start and added; the stock return compounds. Every expected US market session must be present and pass source, identity, model and numerical checks. This retrospective fit is an explanation of measured returns, not evidence of causation or an investable forecast. The window ends at the latest published model session, which can lag the market; today’s unfinished session is excluded.
