Arcbest Corp's revenue declined 4.0% year-over-year, from $4.2B to $4.0B. This contraction results in a growth score of 18/100.
Arcbest Corp carries a low D/E ratio of 0.10, meaning only $0.10 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 78/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
Arcbest Corp's current ratio of 0.95 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 17/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.
Arcbest Corp has a free cash flow margin of 2.9%, earning a moderate score of 37/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.
Arcbest Corp's ROE of 4.6% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 61/100. This is down from 13.2% the prior year.

For every $1 of reported earnings, Arcbest Corp generates $3.81 in operating cash flow ($229.0M OCF vs $60.1M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
Arcbest Corp earns $7.30 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($90.3M vs $12.4M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
