Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc.

Consumer Discretionary · Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances

Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc.'s balance sheet is under water — net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a distressed, high-risk situation — the equity can be wiped by dilution or restructuring before operations recover. Not a value setup.

Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 70th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.

The price is between stages while the P/E sits at the 70th percentile of its own 1-year range. But the balance sheet is under water: net worth is negative, so shareholders sit behind everyone the company owes. What settles it: whether the business can earn its way back to positive equity before dilution or restructuring gets there first.

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 Laundry Holdings Inc. trades at $27.9, between stages. That is +17.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of $19 to $28. On relative strength it has been ahead of the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 1 straight week.

Today the stock is between stages. At $27.9 it trades +17.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range ($19–$28).

Aug 26: $27.9 Weekly closing price ($) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 1-year window.

Oct 25Aug 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10 months the stock moved +12% while the S&P 500 moved +18% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 1 straight week — 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.

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 Laundry Holdings Inc. trades at 37.3× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (70th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 34.8×, measured across 0.8 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 37.3× is at the pricey end of its own range (70th percentile), against a long-run median of 34.8× measured over 0.8 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

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

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 Laundry Holdings Inc. 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 5 quarters across 0 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +13.2% in FY25, profit +0.0% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

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. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

The return-on-capital curve is not shown — net worth is negative, so a return on capital is not a meaningful number in any basis. This is a distressed balance sheet, and the stage is read from the growth curves alone.

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

52.2/100 — rank 15 of 21 in Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances · 36% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers

Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. scores 52.2 out of 100 against the 21 companies it is compared with in Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances, ranking 15. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18.5 + 14.4 + 9.3 + 10 = 52.2. 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.

05 · Revenue

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

Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. reported $0.4 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +10.3% year on year. That is the 5th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 3 years it has compounded at 7.4% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.8 B.

FY25 revenue came in at $1.7 B (+13.2% on the year), capping 3 years at 7.4% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed $0.4 B, +10.3% year on year — the 5th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +14.6% growth against the decade's 7.4% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

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 Laundry Holdings Inc.'s operating margin is 18.6% in the Mar 26 quarter, +0.7 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 4 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 13.0% to 18.7%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 18.6%, +0.7 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 4 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 13.0%–18.7%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.7 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.3 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 Laundry Holdings Inc. earned $0.1 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +200.0% year on year. Full-year FY25 profit was $0.1 B. The 3-year compound rate is 0.0%. That is 14.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B. 1 of the last 9 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was $0.1 B, +200.0% year on year. On the full year, FY25 printed $0.1 B (+0.0%), and the 3-year compound rate is 0.0%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +10.3% and the margin +0.7 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +38.9% vs revenue +14.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

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 197% of Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY25 that was $0.2 B of operating cash against $0.1 B of profit. After $0.1 B of capital spending, $0.2 B was left as free cash.

FY25: operating cash of $0.2 B against reported profit of $0.1 B, leaving free cash of $0.2 B after $0.1 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 197% of profit.

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

FY25: CFO $0.2 B vs profit $0.1 B Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, $ B; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 4-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.

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 Laundry Holdings Inc. 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.

FY25: capex $0.1 B Capital spending per fiscal year, $ B (bars).

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

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 Laundry Holdings Inc. earns a ROE of −83% in FY25. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 5.8% net margin on 0.59× asset turns.

FY25 ROE is −83%.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY25): 5.8% net margin × 0.59× asset turns × −24.08× balance-sheet leverage ≈ −82.4% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

11 · Dividend

Dividend

Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. pays no dividend. Across the last 9 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 Laundry Holdings Inc. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 9 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.

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 Laundry Holdings Inc.'s net worth is negative — it owes more than it owns — so a debt-to-equity ratio is not meaningful here. On the annual view that ratio went from 3.25 in FY23 to 0.00 in FY25. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of $0.0 B against shareholder equity of $−0.1 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.00. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 3.25 (FY23) to 0.00 (FY25). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

13 · Ownership

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.

7.5% of Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 5.2 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: 7.5% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 5.2 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.

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 Laundry Holdings Inc.: the Z-score reads 2.10. 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 2.10 sits in the grey band — neither clearly safe nor clearly distressed.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 2.10.

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.

What could break the Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. story?

Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 70th percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 5 August 2026.

Is Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc. a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Alliance Laundry Holdings Inc.'s balance sheet is under water — net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a distressed, high-risk situation — the equity can be wiped by dilution or restructuring before operations recover. Not a value setup. The sharpest open question: whether the business can earn its way back to positive equity before dilution or restructuring gets there first. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 5 August 2026.
