Rocky Brands Inc
Rocky Brands Inc maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.49 and a current ratio of 2.82, indicating strong short-term liquidity. However, the company's net cash position is negative after subtracting total debt, signaling potential liquidity constraints. The company's price-to-book ratio of 0.99 and price-to-tangible-book ratio of 0.99 suggest that the market values the company close to its tangible asset base. In terms of profitability, Rocky Brands Inc reports a return on equity of 8.84% and a return on assets of 4.66%, which are below the industry median for footwear companies. The company's gross margin is 40.94% (calculated from gross profit of $197.29 million on revenue of $481.98 million), and its operating margin is 7.18% (calculated from operating income of $34.59 million on revenue of $481.98 million), both of which are in line with the industry average. The company's revenue is concentrated in the United States, with no material international operations disclosed. The primary revenue driver is the Rocky and Durango brands, which dominate the occupational and outdoor footwear markets. No material segment breakdown is available in the provided data. Rocky Brands Inc is projected to grow revenue in the current fiscal year, with a positive outlook supported by strong demand in the occupational footwear segment. The company's free cash flow of $20.96 million and operating cash flow of $16.30 million indicate a solid ability to fund operations and reinvest in the business. The company faces moderate liquidity risk due to its negative net cash position after debt. While dilution risk is currently low, the company's capital expenditure of -$6.58 million suggests a reduction in investment in physical assets, which could affect long-term growth. No recent filings or transcripts indicate material changes in the company's strategic direction or financial health. Analysts have a generally positive outlook on Rocky Brands Inc, with a mean price target of $53.00 and a mean recommendation of 2.00 (1=strong buy, 5=strong sell).
