PARK OHIO HOLDINGS CORP represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns PARK OHIO HOLDINGS CORP a Hold rating, with a composite score of 57.5/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #954 of 7,333 stocks, PKOH 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 51/100, PKOH shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 8.0% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 17.0% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of 1.9% (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.
PKOH carries a solid value score of 70/100, pointing to an attractively priced stock relative to peers. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 12.80x, an EV/EBITDA of 4.87x, a P/B ratio of 1.03x. This score suggests reasonable compensation for the risks involved, with potential upside if the market recognizes the stock's underlying worth.
With an investment score of 43/100, PKOH exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of -7.9% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of 2.1% (sector: 0.9%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
PKOH demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 56/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at -7.9% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.17 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.
PKOH shows good financial stability with a score of 65/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.17 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 279.00x (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.
PKOH carries a short interest score of 60/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 279.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $306M market cap (small-cap), PARK OHIO HOLDINGS CORP offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
PKOH pays a solid dividend yield of 2.4%, contributing an income component to total returns. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
PARK OHIO HOLDINGS CORP is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #954 of 7,333 overall (87th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 8.0% exceeding the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of 4.9% above the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While PKOH 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.
