Communication Services · Entertainment

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +233.3% in a year against a +6.4% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only 25% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is between stages while the P/E sits at the 21st percentile of its own 1-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving, and 25% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation trades at $6.0, between stages. That is −9.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 37% of a 52-week range of $5 to $8. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (9 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is between stages. At $6.0 it trades −9.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 37% of its 52-week range ($5–$8).

Jul 26: $6.0 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 1-year window.

Jul 25Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.0 years the stock moved +14% while the S&P 500 moved +19% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (9 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-05-29) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: the P/E sits at the 21st percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation trades at 13.7× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 21% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 16.4×, measured across 1.0 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 13.7× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 21% of the time, against a long-run median of 16.4× measured over 1.0 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 4 quarters.

not derivable — 3-year earnings growth unavailable

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +233.3% against a +6.4% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

Put together: the multiple is low against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

03 · Stage: No read

Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 12 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

No sector-relative score — Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Entertainment.

The score is a rank WITHIN a peer set: every metric is scored by percentile against the other members. Without the peer set there is no score to state, so none is invented here.

05 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation reported $0.3 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +23.8% year on year. Over 4 years it has compounded at −5.3% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.1 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.1 B.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +5.8% growth against the decade's −5.3% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +3.7% over the last 4 quarters against −0.4%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +100.0% vs +41.4%/yr — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 0.0% this quarter (+0.0 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation's operating margin is 0.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −2.6% to 3.8%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation's operating margin is 0.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −2.6% to 3.8%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 0.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −2.6%–3.8%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.0 pp year on year while gross margin went −2.8 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

07 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation earned $0.0 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.0 B. The 4-year compound rate is −9.6%. That is 0.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 25% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 25% of Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY25 that was $0.0 B of operating cash against $0.0 B of profit. After $0.0 B of capital spending, $0.0 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.0 B against reported profit of $0.0 B, leaving free cash of $0.0 B after $0.0 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 25% of profit.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

FY25: CFO $0.0 B vs profit $0.0 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 5-year window, annual resolution.

🚨 Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.

Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: $0.0 B of building over 3 years.

09 · Where the cash goes

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $0.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.0% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.

On the investment side: capital spending of $0.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROE is 21% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +7.8 pp.

10 · Return on equity

Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation earns a ROE of 20% in FY25. That is up from a trough of −50% in FY23. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +7.8 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 1.9% net margin on 2.94× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is 20%, recovered from a FY23 trough of −50% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 1.9% net margin × 2.94× asset turns × 3.60× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 20.1% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 14.9% − 7.1% = a +7.8 pp spread. The 7.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. A spread this wide means every dollar reinvested creates more than a dollar of value — the engine compounds.

11 · Dividend

Dividend

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.

→ No payout to follow. The cash question becomes what the business does with what it earns instead.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation carries total debt of $0.1 B against shareholder equity of $0.1 B as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.75. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.00 in FY21 to 0.90 in FY25. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: short interest is 10.0% of the float.

Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation: the Z-score reads 4.31. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 4.31 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 4.31.

Related companies · same industry · Entertainment Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.
