Rhea AI SXT FY2025 2026-10-24

Sensient is expanding margins, but 2025 cash generation lagged profit as higher reinvestment and inventory absorbed operating gains.

From FY2024 to FY2025, net income rose 7.9% while operating cash flow fell 18.7%, so reported earnings converted less effectively into cash. Free cash flow fell 60.8% as capital expenditures rose to $89M; the inventory build also absorbed cash, making the shortfall an investment-and-working-capital issue rather than simply weaker profit.

The five-year pattern is more than sales growth: from FY2023 to FY2025, revenue rose 10.7% while operating income rose 33.6%. That widening spread is consistent with operating leverage: operating margin expanded 2.2 percentage points while SG&A rose 8.8%, below revenue’s growth.

FY2025 current ratio was 4.1x and debt-to-equity was 0.6x, giving the business substantial short-term coverage relative to reported obligations. Yet long-term debt rose 15.6% and inventory 13.0%, so expansion is using both financing and working capital rather than relying solely on internally generated cash.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 60/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group, and the overall is the average of the dimensions that can be computed. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Sensient Technology Corporation'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.

Profitability

Sensient Technology Corporation has an operating margin of 12.8%, meaning the company retains $13 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 77/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 12.3% the prior year.

Growth

Sensient Technology Corporation's revenue grew a modest 3.5% year-over-year to $1.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 50/100.

Leverage

Sensient Technology Corporation has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.59), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 25/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 4.10, Sensient Technology Corporation holds $4.10 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 88/100.

Cash Flow

Sensient Technology Corporation has a free cash flow margin of 2.4%, earning a moderate score of 42/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Sensient Technology Corporation earns a strong 11.3% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $11 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 75/100. This is down from 11.8% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

5.81

Sensient Technology Corporation scores 5.81, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The largest contribution to the score comes from a market capitalization of $5.6B against total liabilities of $1.1B. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

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

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

4/9

Sensient Technology Corporation passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 operating efficiency signals passes.

Earnings Quality Mixed

0.95x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Sensient Technology Corporation generates $0.95 in operating cash flow ($127.8M OCF vs $134.5M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.

Interest Coverage Safe

7.00x

Sensient Technology Corporation earns $7.00 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($207.1M vs $29.6M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
