Enpro Inc. holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 59.7/100 places it at rank #720 in our full universe.

Enpro Inc. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns Enpro Inc. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 59.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #720 of 7,333 stocks, NPO 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.
With a quality score of 56/100, NPO shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 6.0% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 42.7% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 8.3% (sector avg: 1.0%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
NPO's value score of 64/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 62.67x, an EV/EBITDA of 39.63x, a P/B ratio of 3.75x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
Enpro Inc.'s investment score of 27/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 5.4% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 3.5% (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.
NPO demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 63/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 5.4% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.40 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
NPO shows good financial stability with a score of 70/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.40 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 42.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
NPO carries a short interest score of 67/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include above-average market sensitivity (beta: 1.40), elevated leverage (D/E: 42.00x). At $4.8B market cap (mid-cap), Enpro Inc. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
NPO offers a modest dividend yield of 0.5%. 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.
Enpro Inc. is a mid-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #720 of 7,333 overall (90th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 6.0% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 14.6% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While NPO 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.
