The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +127.3% while the share price moved −9.4%. ## What is the Hillman Solutions share price today? Hillman Solutions Corp.'s share price was $8.35 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 3.0% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $7 and $10, and at that close it sat 39% 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 9 weeks running. Over the last 1 year the share price moved +7% 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 4 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 Hillman Solutions pay? Hillman Solutions Corp. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Hillman Solutions on? Hillman Solutions 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 Hillman Solutions profitable? Hillman Solutions Corp. earned $21.1 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +33.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $40.3 M. That is 4.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $15.8 M. 5 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $40.3 M (+133.6% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Hillman Solutions make, and is it growing? Hillman Solutions Corp. reported $442 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +9.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 2.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.6 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.6 B. FY25 revenue was $1.6 B, +5.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.3% on average, against 2.1% 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 +6.5%, against +4.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +89.5%, against +161.1% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Hillman Solutions keep? Hillman Solutions Corp.'s operating margin was 8.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.6 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 3.7% and 7.5%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 3.7% and 7.5%, and FY25's 7.5% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.2 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is Hillman Solutions' profit turning into cash? Over the last 2 years, 501% of Hillman Solutions Corp.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $105 M of operating cash against $40.3 M of profit. After $70.1 M of spending on assets, $35.1 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 Hillman Solutions' cash go? Hillman Solutions Corp. 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 $221 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.7% 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: $221 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 Hillman Solutions' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Hillman Solutions Corp.'s P/E is 69.7×, 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +127.3% while the price moved −9.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. 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 Hillman Solutions business getting better or worse? Hillman Solutions Corp.'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. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Hillman Solutions earn on its capital? Hillman Solutions Corp. earned a ROE of 3% in FY25. That is up from a low of −3% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 5.4 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.6% net margin and 0.66× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.6% net margin × 0.66× asset turnover × 1.92× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.3% 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: 3.2% − 8.6% = −5.4 percentage points. The 8.6% 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 3.2% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 4.2%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Hillman Solutions have too much debt? Hillman Solutions Corp. has total debt of $801 M against shareholder equity of $1.2 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.65× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.88 in FY21 to 0.62 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Hillman Solutions shareholding pattern? 2.5% of Hillman Solutions Corp.'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 2.7 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 Hillman Solutions from balance-sheet trouble? For Hillman Solutions Corp., the Z-score is 1.55. 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 1.55 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Hillman Solutions rank in its industry? 39.8 out of 100, rank 9 of 9 in Tools & Accessories, with 56% of the evidence available. Hillman Solutions Corp. scores 39.8 out of 100 against the 9 companies it is compared with in Tools & Accessories, ranking 9. Some evidence is missing, so the score is pulled toward the middle on purpose. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.4 + 6.5 + 8.9 + 8 = 39.8. 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 Hillman Solutions 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 Dec 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 else do people ask about Hillman Solutions? ### What were Hillman Solutions's latest quarterly results? Hillman Solutions Corp. reported revenue of $442 M and net profit of $21.1 M for the Jun 2026 quarter. Revenue rose 9.8% and profit rose 33.4% compared with a year earlier. Earnings per share were $0.11. The operating margin was 8.3%, 0.6 percentage points lower than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is Hillman Solutions's market cap? Hillman Solutions Corp.'s market capitalisation is $1.6 B at a stock price of $8.35. 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 Hillman Solutions performing? Hillman Solutions Corp.'s latest readings are below. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 9.8% and profit rose 33.4% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, for 9 weeks running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Hillman Solutions's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Hillman Solutions Corp.'s stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $8.35. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does Hillman Solutions have too much debt? Hillman Solutions Corp. has a moderate amount of debt: its debt is 0.87× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Hillman Solutions's profit real cash? Yes, over the last 2 years, 501% of Hillman Solutions Corp.'s reported profit came in as cash from operations. The latest year was lower at 261%, so the trend is worth watching. In FY25, operating cash was $105 M against reported profit of $40.3 M. Most of that cash then goes into building new capacity. These are yearly figures (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Hillman Solutions in its business cycle? Hillman Solutions Corp.'s FY25 operating margin was 7.5%, against a 5-year range of 3.7% to 7.5%: 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 8.3%. 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 Hillman Solutions story? The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +127.3% while the share price moved −9.4%. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Hillman Solutions a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Hillman Solutions Corp.'s earnings have grown faster than its share price. Earnings per share grew +127.3% in a year while the price moved −9.4%. The main open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already grown. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
