Sunopta Inc Financials
Sunopta Inc (STKL) reported $817.7M in revenue for fiscal year 2026. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
SunOpta’s turnaround is being driven more by overhead discipline and cash-flow stabilization than by a big gross-margin lift.
By FY2026, gross margin was only14.2% , up modestly from13.7% in FY2023. Yet operating margin reached4.9% from0.8% , which points to a recovery led more by overhead control and scale absorption than by a major change in product economics.
Cash conversion improved materially: operating cash flow was
The balance sheet is still liability-heavy, with total liabilities at roughly 3x equity in FY2026 and a current ratio of 1.2x, so liquidity depends more on working capital than on a cash buffer. Debt posture has eased because debt-to-equity fell to 1.3x from 1.5x while financing cash flow remained negative, implying recent cash generation is helping reduce reliance on outside funding.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Sunopta Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.
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 48/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 2.1% the prior year.
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.
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 22/100, reflecting increased financial risk.
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.
Sunopta Inc has a free cash flow margin of 2.6%, earning a moderate score of 32/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.
Sunopta Inc's ROE of 9.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 47/100. This is up from -11.7% the prior year.
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.
Sunopta Inc passes 8 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), all 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
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.
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.
