AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look at CompX as a small, understandable industrial: 549 employees making security products and marine components. The financial health is excellent on paper. Debt to equity is 0.01, the Altman Z-Score is 18.61, and the Piotroski F-Score is 7/9. FairStock's calculations show a 14.97% return on equity and 10.11% return on capital employed, respectable but not fortress-like. Growth has been uneven. In fiscal year 2025, the year ended 2025-12-31, revenue was $158.3M and net income was $19.5M. That was better than fiscal year 2024, the year ended 2024-12-31, when revenue was $145.9M and net income was $16.6M, but still below fiscal year 2023, the year ended 2023-12-31, when revenue was $161.3M and net income was $22.6M. The recent trend is more encouraging: in fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $43.6M, net income was $7.3M, and diluted EPS was $0.59, versus revenue of $40.4M, net income of $5.5M, and diluted EPS of $0.44 in fiscal Q2 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-30. Free cash flow is $21.2M on a trailing basis, a 4.5% yield. At the 2026-10-13 close of $38.05, FairStock calculates a P/E of 21.38, P/B of 3.24, EV/EBITDA of 13.98, PEG of 1.52, and a Graham Number of $21.68, implying a negative 75.51% margin of safety. FairStock calls it a STALWART, with 13.5% five-year profit growth and 6.7% revenue growth. This is a decent, conservatively financed niche business, but the price already seems to reflect a lot of the recent recovery.

In plain English: CompX makes cabinet locks and other security parts, plus components for boats. The business looks financially sturdy, with almost no debt, decent profits and positive cash flow, but sales have been slow and profits have moved around. At $38.05, the shares look expensive compared with the company's earnings and net assets.
