Profitability
57

Esco Technologies Inc has an operating margin of 15.6%, meaning the company retains $16 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 57/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 15.9% the prior year.

Growth
65

Esco Technologies Inc's revenue surged 19.2% year-over-year to $1.1B, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 65/100.

Leverage
100

Esco Technologies Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.11, meaning only $0.11 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
22

Esco Technologies Inc's current ratio of 1.35 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 22/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Altman Z-Score Safe
6.60

Esco Technologies Inc scores 6.60, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($7.3B) relative to total liabilities ($869.5M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Weak
3/9

Esco Technologies Inc passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Mixed
0.81x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Esco Technologies Inc generates $0.81 in operating cash flow ($241.9M OCF vs $299.2M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
