The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +790.8% while the share price moved −13.9%. ## What is the Astec Industries share price today? Astec Industries, Inc.'s share price was $40.06 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 21.0% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $38 and $64, and at that close it sat 7% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 19 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +0% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 26 June 2026. 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 Astec Industries pay? Astec Industries, Inc. paid $0.52 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.13 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $40.06 that is a yield of 1.30%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Astec Industries on? Astec Industries 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 Astec Industries profitable? Astec Industries, Inc. earned $10.5 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −37.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $38.8 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 25.2% a year on average. That is 2.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $16.7 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $38.8 M (+802.3% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +23.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved −1.6 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −57.0% and revenue +18.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Astec Industries make, and is it growing? Astec Industries, Inc. reported $408 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +23.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 6.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.4 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.6 B. FY25 revenue was $1.4 B, +8.1% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +18.9% on average, against 6.5% 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 +18.7%, against +9.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Astec Industries keep? Astec Industries, Inc.'s operating margin was 6.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 2.8% and 7.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 5 years it has been between 2.8% and 7.0%, and FY25's 7.0% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −1.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.5 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Astec Industries' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 146% of Astec Industries, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $61.4 M of operating cash against $38.8 M of profit. After $40.7 M of spending on assets, $20.7 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 Astec Industries' cash go? Astec Industries, Inc. 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 $95.3 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 2.3% 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: $95.3 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 Astec Industries' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Astec Industries, Inc.'s P/E is 47.5×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 67% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 34.8×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +790.8% while the price moved −13.9%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Astec Industries business getting better or worse? Astec Industries, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE falling at 9.0%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Astec Industries earn on its capital? Astec Industries, Inc. earned a ROE of 6% in FY25. That is up from a low of 0% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.9 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.8% net margin and 1.03× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.8% net margin × 1.03× asset turnover × 2.01× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 5.8% 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: 5.7% − 9.6% = −3.9 percentage points. The 9.6% 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 5.7% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 8.8%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Astec Industries have too much debt? Astec Industries, Inc. has total debt of $393 M against shareholder equity of $689 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.57× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.01 in FY21 to 0.53 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Astec Industries shareholding pattern? 2.7% of Astec Industries, Inc.'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 2.6 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 Astec Industries from balance-sheet trouble? For Astec Industries, Inc., the Z-score is 3.21. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.21 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Astec Industries rank in its industry? 32.6 out of 100, rank 18 of 21 in Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery, with 71% of the evidence available. Astec Industries, Inc. scores 32.6 out of 100 against the 21 companies it is compared with in Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery, ranking 18. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 10.8 + 9 + 8.7 + 4.1 = 32.6. 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 Astec Industries compared with? Astec Industries ranks 18 of 21 Farm & Heavy Construction Machinery companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 32.6 out of 100. 1.

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.

Earnings per share were $0.45. The operating margin was 6.3%, 1.6 percentage points lower than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is Astec Industries's market cap? Astec Industries, Inc.'s market capitalisation is $922 M at a stock price of $40.06.

Astec Industries, Inc.'s latest readings are below. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 23.6% and profit fell 37.1% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, for 19 weeks running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Astec Industries's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Astec Industries, Inc.'s stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $40.06. Its P/E of 47.5× is higher than 67% of its own last 1 years. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Astec Industries in its business cycle? Astec Industries, Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 7.0%, against a 5-year range of 2.8% to 7.0%: the top of its range, a record year. When profit is at a record, every ratio looks better than usual, and the story depends on margins staying high. The latest quarter was 6.3%.
