# Astronics Corporation (ATRO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Aerospace & Defense. Price $60.91, market value $2.6 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 33.3×** (5-yr avg 53.4×, 3-yr avg 53.4×). Astronics Corporation trades at 33.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 53.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 19.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.07**. A PEG of 0.07 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.8×.
- **Price / book: 13.2×**. The shares trade at 13.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 19.7×**. Enterprise value is 19.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.3%** (5-yr avg -3.3%). Free cash flow equals 2.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of -3.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 3.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 32.5%**. Astronics Corporation keeps 32.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 13.4%**. 13.4% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 3.4%**. 3.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 21.0%**. 21.0% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 21.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 21.8%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 11.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 11.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 8.4%** (3-yr 17.2%/yr, 5-yr 11.4%/yr). Revenue grew 8.4% over the last year, against 11.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 276.1%**. Earnings per share rose 276.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.39**. Debt is 2.39 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.1×**. It would take 2.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 3.10** (quick 3.10). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.10 times.
