AMETEK’s revenue growth and cash flow impress, but returns are flat
StockStory highlights AMETEK’s five-year revenue growth and cash generation, while noting its return on invested capital has not improved.
Key takeaways
- AMETEK’s annualized revenue growth was 9.8% over the last five years.
- Its free cash flow margin averaged 21.7% over five years.
- StockStory says AMETEK’s return on invested capital has stayed the same in recent years.
StockStory points to AMETEK’s revenue growth and cash generation as strengths, while flagging unchanged returns on invested capital as a concern. The publisher reported the shares at $253.56 and said they had returned 16.4% over six months, compared with a 17.5% gain for the S&P 500.
AMETEK’s annualized revenue growth was 9.8% over the last five years, which StockStory said exceeded the average industrials company. Its free cash flow margin averaged 21.7% over the same period, placing it among the strongest in the industrials sector, according to the publisher.
The caution is that AMETEK’s return on invested capital has stayed the same over the last few years. StockStory described the metric as already high, but said rising returns would be preferable.
