Profitability

Post Hldgs Inc has an operating margin of 9.8%, meaning the company retains $10 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 44/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 10.0% the prior year.

Growth

Post Hldgs Inc's revenue grew a modest 3.0% year-over-year to $8.2B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 38/100.

Leverage

Post Hldgs Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 1.98. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 62/100.

Liquidity

Post Hldgs Inc's current ratio of 1.67 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 29/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Altman Z-Score Distress

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.97x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Post Hldgs Inc generates $2.97 in operating cash flow ($998.3M OCF vs $335.7M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.2x
