FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES INC represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 61.0/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #594 of 7,333 stocks, FLXS presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
FLXS earns a quality score of 74/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 10.8% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 22.4% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 4.3% (sector avg: 1.0%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
FLXS carries a solid value score of 89/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 14.78x, an EV/EBITDA of 11.60x, a P/B ratio of 1.59x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES INC's investment score of 29/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 13.7% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 6.6% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
FLXS is currently showing below-average momentum at 49/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 13.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.07 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
With a stability score of 49/100, FLXS exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.07 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 62.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
The short interest score of 53/100 for FLXS suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 62.00x), micro-cap liquidity risk. With a $259M market cap (micro-cap), FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
FLXS offers a modest dividend yield of 1.6%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES INC is a micro-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #594 of 7,333 overall (92nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 10.8% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 5.5% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While FLXS currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
