Frequently asked questions
What is Brady Corporation's revenue?
Brady Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.62B, and consensus projects about $3.82B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is BRC?
In its most recent fiscal year, BRC ran a gross margin of 50.27%, an operating margin of 15.63%, and a net margin of 12.50%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does BRC generate?
BRC produced $153.62M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is BRC's balance sheet healthy?
BRC holds $174.35M in cash and equivalents against $99.77M in long-term debt, on $1.19B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
