Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Oil-Dri Corporation of America share price today?

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 9 weeks running.

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 Oil-Dri Corporation of America pay? Oil-Dri Corporation of America paid $0.81 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.23 for Jul 2026. At today's price of $69.34 that is a yield of 1.17%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Oil-Dri Corporation of America on? Oil-Dri Corporation of America 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 Oil-Dri Corporation of America profitable? Oil-Dri Corporation of America earned $13.8 M of net profit in the Jul 2026 quarter, +11.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $54.6 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 37.8% a year on average. That is 10.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $12.4 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $54.6 M (+6.1% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +3.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.5 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +7.4% and revenue +1.9%. 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 Oil-Dri Corporation of America make, and is it growing? Oil-Dri Corporation of America reported $129 M of revenue in the Jul 2026 quarter, +3.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 10.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $494 M. The last four reported quarters add to $494 M. FY26 revenue was $494 M, +1.7% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +1.9% on average, against 10.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +1.7%, against +6.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +6.2%, against +20.9% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Oil-Dri Corporation of America keep? Oil-Dri Corporation of America's operating margin was 14.3% in the Jul 2026 quarter, 1.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between 3.3% and 14.1%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +1.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Oil-Dri Corporation of America's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 154% of Oil-Dri Corporation of America's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $80.1 M of operating cash against $54.6 M of profit. After $34.2 M of spending on assets, $45.9 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 Oil-Dri Corporation of America's cash go? Oil-Dri Corporation of America 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 $98.8 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 6.7% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $98.8 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 Oil-Dri Corporation of America's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Oil-Dri Corporation of America's P/E is 17.7×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 47% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 17.8×, 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 +5.9% while the price moved +25.2%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Oil-Dri Corporation of America business getting better or worse? Oil-Dri Corporation of America's business is slowing from a peak. Profit and EPS growth have slowed sharply (profit growth from +219.1% at its peak to +6.2% now), while ROCE is still 20.0%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: slowing from a peak is where good stories often end quietly. ## How much does Oil-Dri Corporation of America earn on its capital? Oil-Dri Corporation of America earned a ROE of 18% in FY26. That is up from a low of 4% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 12.0 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 11.0% net margin and 1.15× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 11.0% net margin × 1.15× asset turnover × 1.44× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 18.2% 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: 20.2% − 8.2% = +12.0 percentage points. The 8.2% 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. ## Does Oil-Dri Corporation of America have too much debt? Oil-Dri Corporation of America has total debt of $53.6 M against shareholder equity of $298 M as of Jul 2026, so its debt is 0.18× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.12 in FY21 to 0.18 in FY26. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Oil-Dri Corporation of America shareholding pattern? 7.9% of Oil-Dri Corporation of America'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 5.6 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 Oil-Dri Corporation of America from balance-sheet trouble? For Oil-Dri Corporation of America, the Z-score is 7.64. 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 7.64 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Oil-Dri Corporation of America rank in its industry?
