Rhea AI STKL FY2026

SunOpta’s operational recovery is visible in improving margins and cash flow, while debt fell but short-term flexibility remains limited.

The 2023 earnings shock—a net loss of $178.8M alongside operating cash flow of $14.8M—was not a matching cash drain, indicating that non-cash or below-operating effects dominated that year’s reported loss. By FY2026, cash-supported profitability returned: net income was $15.8M and free cash flow was $21.2M, bringing accounting profit and reinvestment-adjusted cash generation into alignment.

The margin improvement looks more like cost discipline and fixed-cost absorption than a simple sales lift: operating margin rose from 2.2% in FY2024 to 4.9% in FY2026. Selling, general and administrative expense also declined to $71.0M in FY2026 despite the larger revenue base, allowing more gross profit to reach operations.

The balance sheet is less leveraged but still working-capital-sensitive: debt-to-equity fell from 1.6x in FY2024 to 1.3x in FY2026, reducing balance-sheet leverage. Current ratio moved from 0.9x to 1.2x over the same period, so short-term assets only modestly exceeded near-term obligations at the latest date.

Profitability
46

SunOpta, Inc. has an operating margin of 4.9%, meaning the company retains $5 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 46/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 2.1% the prior year.

Growth
74

SunOpta, Inc.'s revenue grew 13.0% year-over-year to $817.7M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 74/100.

Leverage
23

SunOpta, Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.27), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 23/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity
28

SunOpta, Inc.'s current ratio of 1.18 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 28/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow
28

SunOpta, Inc.'s free cash flow margin of 2.6% results in a low score of 28/100. Capital expenditures of $28.4M absorb a large share of operating cash flow.

Returns
46

SunOpta, Inc.'s ROE of 9.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 46/100. This is up from -11.7% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
1.65

SunOpta, Inc. scores 1.65, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($770.4M) relative to total liabilities ($508.6M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Strong
8/9

SunOpta, Inc. passes 8 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
3.15x

For every $1 of reported earnings, SunOpta, Inc. generates $3.15 in operating cash flow ($49.7M OCF vs $15.8M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk
1.88x

SunOpta, Inc. earns $1.88 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($39.7M vs $21.1M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
