Allient Inc. (NASDAQ:ALNT) Is Going Strong But Fundamentals Appear To Be Mixed : Is There A Clear Direction For The Stock?
Allient's (NASDAQ:ALNT) stock is up by a considerable 82% over the past three months. However, we wonder if the company's inconsistent financials would have any adverse impact on the current share price momentum. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Allient's ROE today. Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. Put another way, it reveals the company's success at turning shareholder investments into profits. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. ROE can be calculated by using the formula: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Allient is: 3.6% = US$9.8m ÷ US$273m (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. Another way to think of that is that for every $1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn $0.04 in profit. See our latest analysis for Allient We have already established that ROE serves as an efficient profit-generating gauge for a company's future earnings. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or "retains", and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company's earnings growth potential. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics. It is hard to argue that Allient's ROE is much good in and of itself. Even compared to the average industry ROE of 11%, the company's ROE is quite dismal. As a result, Allient's flat earnings over the past five years doesn't come as a surprise given its lower ROE. We then compared Allient's net income growth with the industry and found that the average industry growth rate was 13% in the same 5-year period. Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. If you're wondering about Allient's's valuation, check out this gauge of its price-to-earnings ratio, as compared to its industry. Allient's low three-year median payout ratio of 9.9%, (meaning the company retains90% of profits) should mean that the company is retaining most of its earnings and consequently, should see higher growth than it has reported. Moreover, Allient has been paying dividends for at least ten years or more suggesting that management must have perceived that the shareholders prefer dividends over earnings growth. In total, we're a bit ambivalent about Allient's performance. Even though it appears to be retaining most of its profits, given the low ROE, investors may not be benefitting from all that reinvestment after all. The low earnings growth suggests our theory correct. Having said that, looking at current analyst estimates, we found that the company's earnings growth rate is expected to see a huge improvement.
