ABM Industries Incorporated
ABMABM Industries Incorporated's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +102.3% in a year against a +8.2% price move.
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +102.3% against a +8.2% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.
The price is topping out (9 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 65th percentile of its own 4-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +0.0% year on year, and 145% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.
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.
ABM Industries Incorporated trades at $49.2, losing momentum at the top and 9 weeks into that stage. That is +14.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 96% of a 52-week range of $37 to $50. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 9 straight weeks.
Today the stock is losing momentum at the top — week 9 of stage 3. At $49.2 it trades +14.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 96% of its 52-week range ($37–$50).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +34% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 9 straight weeks — 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.
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.
ABM Industries Incorporated trades at 18.9× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (65th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 16.2×, measured across 4.2 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 18.9× is mid-range by its own standards (65th percentile), against a long-run median of 16.2× measured over 4.2 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +102.3% against a +8.2% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +2.6%/yr price move, ~−9.9%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+12.5 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.
Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: Improving 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).
ABM Industries Incorporated reads as improving on its fundamental arc. Improving — profit growth bottomed 5 quarters ago at −72.0% and has held its recovery at +114.3%, ROCE holding at 7.5%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: a sustained climb off the trough is the setup this page is built to catch — the question moves to what you pay for it.

4-Factor Sector Score
60.4/100 — rank 2 of 30 in Specialty Business Services · 85% evidence confidence
ABM Industries Incorporated scores 60.4 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Specialty Business Services, ranking 2. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 22.3 + 11.4 + 15 + 11.7 = 60.4. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
ABM Industries Incorporated reported $2.3 B of revenue in the Apr 26 quarter, +8.5% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 8.9% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $8.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $9.1 B.
FY25 revenue came in at $8.8 B (+4.7% on the year), capping 4 years at 8.9% compound. The latest quarter (Apr 26) printed $2.3 B, +8.5% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +6.6% growth against the decade's 8.9% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +6.6% over the last 4 quarters against +5.0%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +114.3% vs −20.9%/yr — accelerating.
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.
ABM Industries Incorporated's operating margin is 3.9% in the Apr 26 quarter, +0.1 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 2.5% to 5.1%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 3.9%, +0.1 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 2.5%–5.1%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.1 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.0 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
ABM Industries Incorporated earned $0.0 B of net profit in the Apr 26 quarter, +0.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.2 B. The 4-year compound rate is 5.3%. That is 1.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.
Apr 26 profit was $0.0 B, +0.0% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.2 B (+100.0%), and the 4-year compound rate is 5.3%.
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 145% of ABM Industries Incorporated's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.2 B of operating cash against $0.2 B of profit. After $0.1 B of capital spending, $0.1 B was left as free cash.
FY25: operating cash of $0.2 B against reported profit of $0.2 B, leaving free cash of $0.1 B after $0.1 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 145% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
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.
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).
ABM Industries Incorporated 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.
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.
ABM Industries Incorporated earns a ROE of 9% in FY25. That is up from a trough of 5% in FY24. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +0.7 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 1.8% net margin on 1.66× asset turns.
FY25 ROE is 9%, recovered from a FY24 trough of 5% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 1.8% net margin × 1.66× asset turns × 2.94× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 8.8% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 6.9% − 6.2% = a +0.7 pp spread. The 6.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.
Dividend A dividend is cash paid out per share. Dividend per share is the declared amount for the period; the trailing twelve-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.
ABM Industries Incorporated paid $1.11 per share over the last four reported quarters, up 9.4% on a year ago. The most recent declaration was $0.29 for Apr 26. Against the current price of $49.2 that is a trailing yield of 2.26%, measured on dividends already paid rather than on a forecast.
ABM Industries Incorporated paid $1.11 per share across the last four reported quarters, most recently $0.29 for Apr 26. That is up 9.4% against the same quarter a year earlier. Against the current price of $49.2 the trailing twelve months work out to 2.26% — trailing dividends measured against today's price, not a forward estimate.
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.
ABM Industries Incorporated carries total debt of $2.0 B against shareholder equity of $1.8 B as of Apr 26, a debt-to-equity of 1.13. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.64 in FY21 to 0.94 in FY25. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Apr 26: total debt of $2.0 B against shareholder equity of $1.8 B — a debt-to-equity of 1.13. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.64 (FY21) to 0.94 (FY25). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.
4.6% of ABM Industries Incorporated's tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 4.3 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.
The latest reading: 4.6% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 4.3 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.
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.
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.
ABM Industries Incorporated: the Z-score reads 2.71. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits in the grey band between the two. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.
Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.71 sits in the grey band — neither clearly safe nor clearly distressed.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 2.71.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
