The main question: the share price moved +77.4% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved +6.5%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Escalade share price today? Escalade, Incorporated's share price was $20.42 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 12.1% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $12 and $23, and at that close it sat 80% 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 7 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +44% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 18 September 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 Escalade pay? Escalade, Incorporated paid $0.60 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.15 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $20.42 that is a yield of 2.94%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Escalade on? Escalade 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 Escalade profitable? Escalade, Incorporated earned $9.4 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +416.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $13.7 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −13.4% a year on average. That is 16.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.8 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $13.7 M (+5.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.2% on a year earlier and the margin moved +15.9 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +129.8% and revenue +1.2%. 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 Escalade make, and is it growing? Escalade, Incorporated reported $57.7 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +6.2% 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 −6.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $240 M. The last four reported quarters add to $244 M. FY25 revenue was $240 M, −4.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +1.2% 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 +1.0%, against −2.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +80.1%, against +40.1% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Escalade keep? Escalade, Incorporated's operating margin was 20.7% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 15.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 6.4% and 10.2%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +15.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.5 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Escalade's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 316% of Escalade, Incorporated's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $31.0 M of operating cash against $13.7 M of profit. After $2.5 M of spending on assets, $28.5 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 Escalade's cash go? Escalade, Incorporated 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 $6.6 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.9% 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: $6.6 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 Escalade's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Escalade, Incorporated's P/E is 11.7×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 13% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 13.9×, 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 +6.5% while the price moved +77.4%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Escalade business getting better or worse? Escalade, Incorporated's business is growing steadily. Profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROCE is steady at 16.0%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## How much does Escalade earn on its capital? Escalade, Incorporated earned a ROE of 8% in FY25. That is up from a low of 6% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 5.7% net margin and 1.08× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 5.7% net margin × 1.08× asset turnover × 1.28× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 7.9% 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: 8.6% − 7.0% = +1.6 percentage points. The 7.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. The 8.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 7.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Escalade have too much debt? Escalade, Incorporated has total debt of $16.1 M against shareholder equity of $183 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.09× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.41 in FY21 to 0.11 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Escalade shareholding pattern? 3.0% of Escalade, Incorporated'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 9.5 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 Escalade from balance-sheet trouble? For Escalade, Incorporated, the Z-score is 5.14. 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 5.14 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Escalade rank in its industry? 64.9 out of 100, rank 3 of 23 in Leisure, with 81% of the evidence available. Escalade, Incorporated scores 64.9 out of 100 against the 23 companies it is compared with in Leisure, ranking 3. 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: 24.3 + 17.9 + 11.5 + 11.2 = 64.9. 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 Escalade compared with? Escalade ranks 3 of 23 Leisure companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 64.9 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.

Revenue rose 6.2% and profit rose 416.8% compared with a year earlier. Earnings per share were $0.68. The operating margin was 20.7%, 15.9 percentage points higher than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is Escalade's market cap? Escalade, Incorporated's market capitalisation is $281 M at a stock price of $20.42. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is Escalade performing? Escalade, Incorporated's latest readings are below. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 6.2% and profit rose 416.8% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, for 7 weeks running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Escalade's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Escalade, Incorporated's stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $20.42. Its P/E of 11.7× is higher than 13% 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). ### Does Escalade have too much debt? No, Escalade, Incorporated has little debt: its debt is 0.08× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. So the returns on this page come from the business, not borrowed money (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Escalade's profit real cash? Yes, over the last 3 years, 316% of Escalade, Incorporated's reported profit came in as cash from operations. The latest year was lower at 226%, so the trend is worth watching. In FY25, operating cash was $31.0 M against reported profit of $13.7 M. Most of that cash then goes into building new capacity. These are yearly figures (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Escalade in its business cycle? Escalade, Incorporated's FY25 operating margin was 7.8%, against a 5-year range of 6.4% to 10.2%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 20.7%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Escalade story?
