Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Aerospace & Defense. Price $168.32, market value $2.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Ducommun Incorporated reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 2.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.9×.
- **Price / book: 3.7×**. The shares trade at 3.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 141.8×**. Enterprise value is 141.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.0%** (5-yr avg -0.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 27.4%**. Ducommun Incorporated keeps 27.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -1.6%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -4.5%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -5.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -1.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -1.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -1.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -1.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 4.9%** (3-yr 5.0%/yr, 5-yr 5.6%/yr). Revenue grew 4.9% over the last year, against 5.6% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -273.6%**. Earnings per share fell 273.6%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.46**. Debt is 0.46 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 13.1×**. It would take 13.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 4.28**. A Z-score of 4.28 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Ducommun Incorporated does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 84.2%** (YTD 76.9%, 3-mo 12.3%). The shares are up 84.2% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -20.0%** (98.6% above the low). Trading 20% 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): 37**. An RSI of 37 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.40** (volatility 40%). Beta of 1.40 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
