Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Leverage

American Vanguard Corp carries a low D/E ratio of 0.90, meaning only $0.90 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 84/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.42x

For every $1 of reported earnings, American Vanguard Corp generates $0.42 in operating cash flow (-$21.2M OCF vs -$49.9M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk

-1.5x

American Vanguard Corp earns $-1.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$28.3M vs $18.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
