Frequently asked questions
What is Insteel Industries Inc's revenue?
Insteel Industries Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $689.91M. 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 IIIN?
In its most recent fiscal year, IIIN ran a gross margin of 14.43%, an operating margin of 8.40%, and a net margin of 6.33%. 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 IIIN generate?
IIIN produced $18.95M 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 IIIN's balance sheet healthy?
IIIN holds $38.63M in cash and equivalents against — in long-term debt, on $371.53M of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
