Moat

36 /100

Weak moat

How hard Adient's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 6 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 5.6% of total assets over 9 years.

  • Pricing power 8 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 6.3%, moving by 1.4 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 0 / 20

    Net margin has been a median 0.2%; its worst year was -11.0%.

  • Cash conversion 8 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 7 of 10 years, at a median 1.7% of revenue.

  • Discipline 20 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 16.4% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.2% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (41 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.
