Frequently asked questions
What is Preformed Line Products Company's revenue?
Preformed Line Products Company's trailing twelve-month revenue is $697.08M. 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 PLPC?
In its most recent fiscal year, PLPC ran a gross margin of 31.44%, an operating margin of 8.22%, and a net margin of 5.27%. 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 PLPC generate?
PLPC produced $33.34M 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 PLPC's balance sheet healthy?
PLPC holds $83.39M in cash and equivalents against $32.86M in long-term debt, on $475.52M of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
