# ABM Industries Incorporated (ABM) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Professional Services. Price $47.05, market value $2.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 18.1×** (5-yr avg 19.8×, 3-yr avg 21.9×). ABM Industries Incorporated trades at 18.1× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 19.8×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 10.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.11**. A PEG of 0.11 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.0×**. Enterprise value is 10.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 12.1%** (5-yr avg 5.6%). Free cash flow equals 12.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 5.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 3.5%**. 3.5% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 1.9%**. 1.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.1%**. 9.1% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 7.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 7.6%.
- **Return on assets: 3.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 4.6%** (3-yr 3.9%/yr, 5-yr 7.9%/yr). Revenue grew 4.6% over the last year, against 7.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 102.3%** (3-yr -8.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 102.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.88**. Debt is 0.88 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.5×**. It would take 3.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.80**. A Z-score of 2.80 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.47%** ($1.11 per share, trailing). ABM Industries Incorporated yields 2.47%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 40%** (20% of free cash flow). 40% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 5**. 5 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 13.8%/yr** (1-yr 17.8%). The dividend has compounded at 13.8% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 5 years at that pace.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 0.4%** (YTD 13.5%, 3-mo 11.3%). The shares are up 0.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -6.1%** (27.3% above the low). Trading 6% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 49**. An RSI of 49 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.31** (volatility 27%). Beta of 0.31 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
