Synthesis
Hayward Holdings Inc operates in the Building Products industry within the Industrials sector, generating revenue through its disclosed business activities.
Hayward Holdings maintains a balanced capital structure with total equity of $1.59 billion and long-term debt of $959.8 million, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.60. The company holds $329.6 million in cash and equivalents, which is insufficient to cover total debt, leading to a negative net cash position flagged in the risk assessment. Liquidity is assessed as medium, supported by a current ratio implied by the balance sheet structure, though specific current assets and liabilities are not detailed beyond the aggregate totals.
Profitability metrics indicate a return on equity of 10.08% and a return on assets of 5.10%. The company generated $151.6 million in net income on $1.12 billion in revenue, yielding a net margin of approximately 13.5%. Operating income stands at $233.3 million, reflecting an operating margin of roughly 20.8%. Without cohort median data for direct comparison, these returns are evaluated against the company's own historical performance and industry standards for building products manufacturers.
Revenue concentration by segment or geography is not disclosed in the available data, preventing a detailed analysis of exposure risks. The company's total revenue of $1.12 billion is attributed to its core operations in the Building Products sector.
Growth trajectory analysis is limited due to the absence of historical period data in the input. The current financial snapshot provides a single-period view of revenue and profitability, without year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter trends to assess momentum.
Risk factors include a medium liquidity rating and a low dilution risk. A key flag notes that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, indicating reliance on debt financing or operating cash flows to meet obligations. The company's operating cash flow of $256.0 million exceeds its capital expenditure of $28.7 million, providing free cash flow to service debt.
Recent events include reconciler enqueue actions for analysis jobs, indicating ongoing data processing and coverage updates for Hayward Holdings Inc. Analyst estimates suggest a mean price target of $17.10, with a mean recommendation of 2.33, indicating a moderate buy sentiment.
