NVE is a fascinating niche business: a 40-employee semiconductor company selling spintronic sensors and couplers into factory automation and medical applications. In fiscal Q2 2027, the quarter ended 2026-09-30, it reported revenue of $5.8M and net income of $3.2M, a 54.38% margin. That level of profitability suggests specialized products and pricing power, though the market is narrow and the Lynch category is cyclical semiconductors because earnings follow the economic cycle. The balance sheet is excellent: FairStock calculations show debt/equity of 0.02, ROE of 29.81%, ROCE of 19.30%, Piotroski 5/9, Altman Z-Score 113.82, and trailing free cash flow of $18.7M, a 5.1% FCF yield. Growth is the weak spot. Filed annual revenue was $1.2M in FY2025, the year ended 2025-03-31, and $1.1M in FY2026, the year ended 2026-03-31; net income was $15.1M and $15.2M, with diluted EPS of $3.11 and $3.14. At the close on 2026-10-26, the price was $75.56, giving FairStock P/E of 20.31, P/B of 6.11, and EV/EBITDA of 17.70. FairStock's Graham Number is $31.65, so the margin of safety is -129.51%. I see a high-quality small business, but not a bargain; the stock's 52-week range of $57.21 to $135.00 shows how much sentiment can move it. FairStock Score 69/100 is respectable, but a Graham-style buyer would want either a lower price or clearer growth.
In plain English: NVE makes tiny magnetic sensors and data couplers using spintronics, mainly for factory automation and medical uses. The business looks financially strong with high profit margins, almost no debt, and solid cash generation, but sales have been uneven and it is a small company tied to economic cycles. At $75.56 from the 2026-10-26 close, the price looks expensive compared with the company’s profits and accounting value, so it is not an obvious bargain.
