NVE share price today

NVE Corporation's share price was $78.79 at the close on 4 November 2026. That is 13.2% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $60 and $126, and at that close it sat 29% of the way up from that low.

A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 3 weeks running.

Over the last 1 year the share price moved +4% while the S&P 500 moved +23%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 16 October 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.

NVE Corporation paid $4.00 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $1.00 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $78.79 that is a yield of 5.08%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

NVE is on one of our US lists: US tech stocks.

NVE Corporation earned $3.2 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −4.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $15.2 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 1.2% a year on average. That is 54.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $3.3 M.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $15.2 M (+0.9% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −8.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.7 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +28.1% and revenue +25.2%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace.

NVE Corporation reported $5.8 M of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, −8.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown −0.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $26.3 M. The last four reported quarters add to $30.7 M.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY26 revenue was $26.3 M, +1.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +25.2% on average, against −0.6% 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 +24.1%, against +6.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +29.3%, against +5.3% a year (accelerating).

NVE Corporation's operating margin was 54.9% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 2.7 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 60.5% and 67.0%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −2.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.1 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 104% of NVE Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $16.7 M of operating cash against $15.2 M of profit. After $2.2 M of spending on assets, $14.5 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

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.

NVE Corporation 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 $3.5 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.4% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $3.5 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.

NVE Corporation's P/E is 21.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 11% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 23.9×, 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.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +1.0% while the price moved +21.3%. 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.

NVE Corporation's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 8 quarters ago at −26.7% and has recovered to +29.3%, with ROCE rising at 31.8%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

NVE Corporation earned a ROE of 26% in FY26. That is up from a low of 23% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 32.7 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 57.7% net margin and 0.44× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 57.7% net margin × 0.44× asset turnover × 1.04× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 26.4% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 44.0% − 11.3% = +32.7 percentage points. The 11.3% 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 44.0% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at 33.6%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method.

NVE Corporation has total debt of $871 K against shareholder equity of $58.0 M as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.02× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.01 in FY22 to 0.02 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

11.1% of NVE Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 5.6 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

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 has the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story.

For NVE Corporation, the Z-score is 130.75. 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.

The Z-score estimates how far a company is from balance-sheet trouble. Above about 3 is safe; below about 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not used for banks and lenders.

Why it matters: a Z-score of 130.75 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here.
