# Exco Technologies Limited (XTC.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Auto Components. Price C$8.02, market value C$301 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.5×** (5-yr avg 9.9×, 3-yr avg 9.7×). Exco Technologies Limited trades at 12.5× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 9.9×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 7.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 5.2×**. Enterprise value is 5.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.0%** (5-yr avg 5.5%). Free cash flow equals 10.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 8.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 17.3%**. Exco Technologies Limited keeps 17.3% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 5.6%**. 5.6% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 3.9%**. 3.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.0%**. 6.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 4.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.5%** (3-yr 7.9%/yr, 5-yr 8.3%/yr). Revenue fell 3.5% over the last year, against 8.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -17.1%** (3-yr 8.7%/yr, 5-yr -1.8%/yr). Earnings per share fell 17.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.24**. Debt is 0.24 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.0×**. It would take 1.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 8.4×**. Operating profit covers interest 8.4× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 2.70** (quick 1.58). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.70 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.29**. A Z-score of 3.29 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

- **Payout ratio: 66%** (53% of free cash flow). 66% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 23**. 23 straight years of increases, a record that survived at least one recession.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 2.0%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has grown 2.0% a year over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 7.1%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 7.1% of the market value a year.

- **From 52-week high: -7.9%** (28.3% above the low). Trading 8% 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): 45**. An RSI of 45 is neutral.
