The analyst's take on Preformed Line Products Company
Preformed Line Products Company has grown revenue from $336.63M to $669.34M over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 7.5% a year. The most recent year was up 12.7%, so growth is actually accelerating.
Net margin sits at 5.3%, down 0.9 points year over year on a 31.2% gross margin. It carries about $39.47M of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 21.3% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 14.3% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price already assumes a step-up from the recent record. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is net margin shrinking.
