The main question: the share price moved +57.2% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved +17.4%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the CompX International share price today? CompX International Inc.'s share price was $35.36 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 26.9% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $22 and $39, and at that close it sat 78% 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 18 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +31% 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 CompX International pay? CompX International Inc. paid $1.20 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.30 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $35.36 that is a yield of 3.39%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is CompX International on? CompX International 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 CompX International profitable? CompX International Inc. earned $7.3 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +33.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $19.5 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 4.1% a year on average. That is 16.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $5.5 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $19.5 M (+17.4% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +8.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved +4.8 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +18.1% and revenue +6.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does CompX International make, and is it growing? CompX International Inc. reported $43.6 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +8.0% 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 3.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $158 M. The last four reported quarters add to $162 M. FY25 revenue was $158 M, +8.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.4% on average, against 3.0% 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 +6.0%, against +1.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +18.5%, against +2.2% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does CompX International keep? CompX International Inc.'s operating margin was 20.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 4.8 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 11.7% and 15.8%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +4.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +3.7 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is CompX International's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 122% of CompX International Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $22.9 M of operating cash against $19.5 M of profit. After $3.7 M of spending on assets, $19.1 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 CompX International's cash go? CompX International 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 $6.3 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.3% 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: $6.3 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 CompX International's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? CompX International Inc.'s P/E is 19.8×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 87% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 15.1×, 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 +17.4% while the price moved +57.2%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up 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 CompX International business getting better or worse? CompX International Inc.'s business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −11.8% at its low to +18.5%, improving for 5 quarters in a row, with ROCE rising at 17.8%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. ## How much does CompX International earn on its capital? CompX International Inc. earned a ROE of 14% in FY25. That is up from a low of 10% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 12.5 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 12.3% net margin and 1.01× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 12.3% net margin × 1.01× asset turnover × 1.13× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 14.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 21.4% − 8.9% = +12.5 percentage points. The 8.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 21.4% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 20.1%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does CompX International have too much debt? CompX International Inc.'s debt-to-equity is 0.01 at the latest reading: very little borrowing. A full history of its borrowings is not in our data. With so little borrowing, the returns on this page come from the business itself. We only have the latest reading, so no chart is drawn. ## What is the CompX International shareholding pattern? 7.6% of CompX International 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 3.5 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 CompX International from balance-sheet trouble? For CompX International Inc., the Z-score is 13.50. 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 13.50 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does CompX International rank in its industry? 73.3 out of 100, rank 1 of 14 in Security & Protection Services, with 81% of the evidence available. CompX International Inc. scores 73.3 out of 100 against the 14 companies it is compared with in Security & Protection Services, ranking 1. Earnings, capital efficiency and relative strength all agree. The open questions are about management, upcoming events and risks. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 23.6 + 17.4 + 13.8 + 18.5 = 73.3. 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 CompX International 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.

What it shows instead: the stock price is $35.36. Its P/E of 19.8× is higher than 87% 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 CompX International in its business cycle? CompX International Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 14.3%, against a 5-year range of 11.7% to 15.8%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 20.5%.

The main question: the share price moved +57.2% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved +17.4%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple.

What the numbers show: CompX International Inc.'s share price has risen faster than its earnings: +57.2% in a year, against +17.4% for earnings per share.
