Rhea AI ALOT FY2026 2026-10-04

AstroNova’s cash generation recovered before earnings, while flat sales and thinner margins leave the business near operating breakeven.

The gap between a net loss of $2.4M and operating cash flow of $11.7M indicates cash conversion was driven by noncash costs and working-capital release rather than reported earnings. With free cash flow of $11.4M alongside only $332K of capital spending, FY2026 was a low-reinvestment cash year, not evidence of durable earnings strength.

The move from -5.7% in FY2025 to 0.8% in FY2026 shows a sharp operating recovery, but not a return to the stronger FY2024 level. With gross margin narrowing to 31.7% while revenue stayed nearly flat, the improvement appears tied to expenses below gross profit rather than stronger gross-profit economics.

Liabilities declined from $69.8M in FY2025 to $60.7M in FY2026, reducing claims against the asset base. The current ratio improved from 1.7x to 1.8x, indicating better short-term coverage, while debt-to-equity remained elevated versus FY2024.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of AstroNova, Inc.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

AstroNova, Inc. has an operating margin of 0.8%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 29/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -5.7% the prior year.

Growth

AstroNova, Inc.'s revenue declined 0.5% year-over-year, from $151.3M to $150.5M. This contraction results in a growth score of 33/100.

Leverage

AstroNova, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.24), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 28/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

AstroNova, Inc.'s current ratio of 1.84 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 54/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

AstroNova, Inc. has a free cash flow margin of 7.6%, earning a moderate score of 50/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

AstroNova, Inc. posts a -3.1% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $3 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 27/100. This is up from -19.1% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

4.13

AstroNova, Inc. scores 4.13, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($227.3M) relative to total liabilities ($60.7M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

AstroNova, Inc. passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

N/A

AstroNova, Inc. reported a net loss of $2.4M while generating $11.7M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk

0.80x

AstroNova, Inc. earns $0.80 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.2M vs $1.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
