Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Optical Cable has an operating margin of -0.6%, meaning the company retains $-1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -5.1% the prior year.
Optical Cable's revenue grew 9.5% year-over-year to $73.0M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 56/100.
Optical Cable carries a low D/E ratio of 1.12, meaning only $1.12 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 70/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
Optical Cable's current ratio of 1.82 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 53/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.
Optical Cable's free cash flow margin of 1.5% results in a low score of 8/100. Capital expenditures of $296K absorb a large share of operating cash flow.
Optical Cable passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Optical Cable generates $-0.97 in operating cash flow ($1.4M OCF vs -$1.5M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
Optical Cable earns $-0.4 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$450K vs $1.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
