Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the ACCO Brands share price today? ACCO Brands Corporation's share price was $5.19 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 30.7% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $3 and $6, and at that close it sat 88% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 5 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +36% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does ACCO Brands pay? ACCO Brands Corporation paid $0.30 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.07 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $5.19 that is a yield of 5.78%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is ACCO Brands on? ACCO Brands is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is ACCO Brands profitable? ACCO Brands Corporation earned $14.1 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −51.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $41.3 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −20.2% a year on average. That is 3.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $29.2 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Why profit moved: revenue changed +5.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.3 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −35.1% and revenue +0.1%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does ACCO Brands make, and is it growing? ACCO Brands Corporation reported $415 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +5.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −6.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.5 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.6 B. FY25 revenue was $1.5 B, −8.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +0.1% on average, against −6.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −0.6%, against −4.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does ACCO Brands keep? ACCO Brands Corporation's operating margin was 8.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.3 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 6.9% and 9.1%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.3 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.2 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is ACCO Brands' profit turning into cash? Over the last 2 years, 159% of ACCO Brands Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $68.7 M of operating cash against $41.3 M of profit. After $17.9 M of spending on assets, $50.8 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does ACCO Brands' cash go? ACCO Brands Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $47.6 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.0% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $47.6 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is ACCO Brands' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? ACCO Brands Corporation's P/E is 7.4×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the ACCO Brands business getting better or worse? ACCO Brands Corporation's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does ACCO Brands earn on its capital? ACCO Brands Corporation earned a ROE of 6% in FY25. That is up from a low of −17% in FY24. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.7% net margin and 0.68× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.7% net margin × 0.68× asset turnover × 3.39× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 6.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.9% − 6.2% = −1.3 percentage points. The 6.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 4.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 5.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does ACCO Brands have too much debt? ACCO Brands Corporation has total debt of $1.0 B against shareholder equity of $691 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.46× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.28 in FY21 to 1.39 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the ACCO Brands shareholding pattern? 7.4% of ACCO Brands Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 10.1 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is ACCO Brands from balance-sheet trouble? For ACCO Brands Corporation, the Z-score is 0.76. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.76 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does ACCO Brands rank in its industry? 55.0 out of 100, rank 2 of 4 in Business Equipment & Supplies, with 78% of the evidence available. ACCO Brands Corporation scores 55.0 out of 100 against the 4 companies it is compared with in Business Equipment & Supplies, ranking 2. Relative strength against the index is 25.6%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 15.1 + 4.9 + 15 + 20 = 55. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is ACCO Brands compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
