Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: held for review: our cash-flow value ($8.96) was left out of our combined valuation (it is 0.14x the share price, outside the 0.2-5x range we accept), so it can't be the basis of a rating.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Astronics Corp's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $22.2M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

The inputs used by the models below have passed source checks. Individual model values are available below and in the interactive valuator. Their differences are shown explicitly; the platform combined value and recommendation remain withheld.

Valuation models

We value Astronics Corp as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.2 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one.

Moat

23 /100

Weak moat

How hard Astronics'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 0 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 1.8% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 5 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 21.7%, moving by 5.5 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 0 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 2.3%; its worst year was -18.0%.

  • Cash conversion 8 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 6 of 10 years, at a median 3.2% of revenue.

  • Discipline 10 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 20.1% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.9% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Low. In this industry, the business rests on physical assets, regulated networks or products AI itself depends on.
